4th Grade Narrative Prompt

Write the best personal narrative, the best Small Moment story, that you can write. Make this be the story of one time in your life. You might focus on just a scene or two.

You’ll have only forty-five minutes to write this true story, so you’ll need to plan, draft, revise, and edit in one sitting. Write in a way that allows you to shows off all you know about narrative writing.

In your writing, make sure you:

• Write a beginning for your story.
• Use transition words to tell what happened in order.
• Elaborate to help readers picture your story.
• Show what your story is really about.
• Write an ending for your story.
