A personal narrative is writing about something that happened in your life.

The thing I found easy was everything because I like writing and I practice at home. The thing difficult was nothing because I like writing and I practice at home.

What are personal narratives?
1. A personal narrative is something about you and about your lifetime.
What did you find difficult or easy in personal narratives?
1. What was difficult about is which kind of personal narrative to do because when you have a lot of ideas of what it should be, it’s hard to pick which one to do.
2. What was easy about personal narratives is that I know the names of the people in it. Because it would be weird to not know the names of the people in it because it usually has the people in your family.
What did you like best about personal narratives?
1. What I like best about personal narratives is that you get to make it about anything you want because if it was only what one person wants, if there is a person who wants to see a classes work, the person will only be able to see one persons work and that is not fair.
2. Also if your setting is in the park, it stays like that. That was the setting and it stays like that. Because if one person reads it and you change the setting when the second person reads it and they talk about it they will be surprised.
What did you learn about personal narratives or indenting?
1. I learned that in personal narratives you really have to have details so the person reading what you wrote.
2. I learned that when you indent you have to leave a pinkie space before you write because that’s indenting is.

Personal Narratives Reflection
By: Brian B
What are personal narratives?
Writing about yourself.
What did you find difficult or easy in personal narratives?
I found putting punctuations difficult.
What did you like best about your personal narratives?
I liked when you indent a lot and do 3 paragraphs. Because if you don’t do 3 paragraphs you would get confused like if you don’t know where is the part of going to the park.
What did you learn about Personal Narratives or indenting?
I learned that you needed to put punctuations and indent. And when you’re happy in your Personal Narratives you put a exclamation point. Because if you don’t put the exclamation point and if you’re happy you would get confused.
