​ Let's review

A narrative paragraph describes one primary topic and narrates or tells its story. The topic usually involves one main event, adventure, scene, or happening.

​Start your narrative paragraph with a strong topic sentence.

​

• ​“This past weekend I had the time of my life. First, 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.”

Use transition words to move from event to event.​

​“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.

​End your detailed description with a good concluding sentence.

​“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 will be as fun as this one.”
