ASSIGNMENT: Write a narrative essay using the techniques and elements of narrative writing that you have learned in this unit. Your essay must be approximately 500-800 words long.

Choose a topic that enables you to tell a short, interesting personal story. Your story can be funny, suspenseful, meaningful, or exciting, but it must focus on one event. For example, if you decide to write about traveling to Denmark, you should not write about the entire trip. Choose one event — for example, an afternoon you spent bicycling on an island, or your first taste of smoked herring, or visiting the childhood home of Hans Christian Anderson — and tell a detailed story that focuses on that event.

YOU MUST PICK SOMETHING FROM THE LIST BELOW TO FOCUS ON. OFF-TOPIC RESPONSES ARE UNACCEPTABLE!

• Firsts — Think of a “first” in your life and describe that moment in detail.
• Proud Moment — Choose a moment when you felt proud about an accomplishment.
• Adversity — Describe a time when you had to think or act quickly to overcome a challenge.
• Traveling — Recall a memorable experience you had while traveling.
