    Narrative Paragraph
    ✓ Narrative paragraph is a paragraph that tells a story.

    Notes:
    ➢ In a narrative paragraph, the writers usually present the events
    in the order that they happened.

    ➢ They use time order to organize their sentences in their


    paragraph.

    ➢ Each event starts with a time order signal to show what


    happened first, what happened next, what happened after that,
    and so on. Barchi branch of TTC
    Time order signals
    Time order signals are words or phrases that show the order in which
    events happened.
    Put a comma after time order signals that come before the subject at the beginning
    of a sentence. (Exceptions: Then, soon, and now are usually not followed by a
    comma.)

    How to Write an Awesome Narrative Paragraph
    1. Plan to tell your narrative from the first or third person
    perspective. Use “I”, “He, She, It, They”
    I woke up surrounded by an oppressive fog. It obscured my vision and
    hindered my breathing.
    2. Use a consistent tense. You can use either past or present tense.
    NOT both!
    I woke up surrounded by an oppressive fog. I can’t remember where I
    am. (tenses being mixed)
    3. Create an engaging topic sentence. Draw the reader into your
    narrative paragraph by creating excitement or suspense with your
    opening sentence.
    I’ll never forget the time I picked out my new puppy.

    How I Spent My Weekend.
    This past weekend I had the time of my life. First, on Friday night,
    I had my best friend over and we made a delicious, mouth-watering
    pizza. After we ate, we had a friendly video game competition. On
    Saturday, my dad took us out on the boat. The weather was perfect
    and the water was warm. It was a great day to go for a swim. Later
    that night, we went to the movies. We saw an action packed thriller
    and ate a lot of popcorn. Finally, on Sunday, we rode our bikes all
    over town. By the end of the day, my legs were very tired. I only hope
    that next weekend can be as fun as this one.
