Prewriting and Outlining for the Narrative Essay

This week, you will be preparing for next week’s essay: the narrative. Take a moment and review the directions for the Week 3 narrative essay. Once you have a topic you want to write your narrative about, you will complete this two part assignment: prewriting and outlining.

Part I

The first part of this assignment will help you “flesh out” your topic. Take 10-15 minutes to free write about your topic. Chapters 4 and 5 in your textbook can help you decide what kind of free writing you want to do, but don’t feel restricted by one genre. Write down everything that pertains to your topic, including questions your readers might have. Don’t worry about grammar or sentence structure; this is a brainstorming activity.

Part II

Next, create an outline as a preliminary structure for the narrative essay. Use several of the outlining rules on pp. 111-115 of The Writer’s Way, but be sure to include the following:

Outline in three to five parts only (rule no. 1)

Don’t describe; summarize (no. 5)

Outline whole sentences only (no. 8)

You may use as many of the other rules as you feel necessary. The goal is to present a structure for how your final essay may look. As such, an outline is not a series of paragraphs or a rough draft.
***refer to the Writers Way***

Please submit your responses to both prompts in a single document.

Prewriting and Outlining For the Narrative Essay
Part I
15 years ago, I went on an 825- mile cycling trip with my father and brother. It was time
for the two sons to bond with the father who was a professional cyclist. The adventure was
across Vancouver Island and the San Juan Islands. I wanted to see the beautiful scenery of
mountains, forest, deer, bear, and mouse. The trip took more than one week. One night after
spending more than one week at campsites, there were heavy downpours while we were cycling
down the hill. Accidently my brother slipped and fell in the middle of the road. My father and I
had to stop to check on him; he was okay though his leg was stuck in the frame of the bike.
Suddenly we saw the light of a car approaching us which ...
