Final Essay Exam

Write a 500 word narration essay on one of the topics from the list provided below . Althoug narratives serve a variety of purposes, the most succesful ones usually share three basic characteristics: they are clearly organized in time, make a central point, and contain specific details relevant to that point.

Narration is one of the most common types of professional writing, and it seeks to answer the basic question "What happened?"

The main goal of narration is to tell a story.

Select one of the following topics to produce your Final Narration Essay Exam :

1 - A first date.

2 - An incident that revealed the true character of someone you knew.

3 - An experience that caused you to learn something about yourself.

4 - An event that placed you in danger.

5- A typical day at school or your job.

Choose your essay structure carefully. Avoid including details that do not serve to advance or complete your narration. I expect your essay to contain a strong introduction that includes your essay's thesis, a coherent and focused body that effectively transitions from paragraph to paragraph, and a rich conclusion that provides closure for your narration.

Use all the resources you have available to complete this exam. Refer to your textbook for strategies and tips on student writing. I strongly recommend that you read chapter 9 to refresh your knowledge of the narration mode.

You will be able to submit your essay several times; only the last entry will be kept and graded. I do not accept late or email submissions. I only allow up to 30% of similarities. Remember you have to use MLA format when writing your essay (Please refer to Lectures, week 8). This assignment will give you 5% of your final grade in this class.If you plagiarize your essay, you will get an F in the assignment, and your final grade in the class will be highly affected by your unacceptable behavior.
