GUIDELINES FOR NARRATIVE
ESSAY
1. Consider the topic - You should be
able to weave your truth into a story
that matters. It would not be a good
narrative essay if you are not involved
in your writing and don’t want to share
your experience with others.
2. Start with the draft. It is not easy to write a
good story from the beginning to the end without
some planning. That is why you should create a
narrative essay outline and then polish it until you
are sure that the result meets all the requirements.
This method is used by many people, including
famous writers.
3. Storyline elements.
● Most stories contain elements as the description, plot,
characters, setting, and other components.
● These help each text attract the readers’ attention and make
them think about it.
● Make sure your narrative story contains all these elements
and is written in accordance with all standards of English
grammar.
4. The point of view. Readers and listeners should

clearly understand your role in the story, which is why

it is so important to let them know all the details of the

described event, as well as the explanation of your

behaviour in a particular situation.

5. Proving and supporting. You should not only show

your opinion but also give arguments that support it.

You can provide readers with any facts and references

that showcase your thoughts and the results of your

conclusions.
 6.Do not give details that don’t mean anything
to your story. They make your essay too wordy
and can confuse readers.
contd... 7.Clear writing. Use simple words and
appropriate language in the text. The clearer your
readers understand what you are telling them, the
better their feedback will be.

8. Describe events chronologically. As a rule,

such essays are created in proper chronological

order in order to avoid confusion and allow

everyone who reads it to follow the author’s

thoughts easily and with interest.

9. Highlight the most crucial moments. Keep in
mind that you will have to highlight the most
significant arguments or facts to help your readers
identify them and easily understand their role in
the story, as well as their influence on the
outcome.
