650 Prompts for Narrative and Personal Writing

A narrative essay is an essay that tells us some story. These are commonly assigned in high schools and colleges. It also contains a plot, characters, conflicts, etc., like stories. Most of the times students are told to write their personal experience in the form of a story. It is done so that class or readers can connect with it. Since everyone like stories, so these essays got so many readers. Hence it is very important to work on its content and format. Writing a narrative essay can be fun if you do it properly. Movies and some YouTube videos are also narrative essays but they are in the form of video.

These are great for when I am at a loss as to what to write about. I tend to write more than I breathe, and when I'm "blocked" that's an exceedingly uncomfortable feeling. Thanks, NYT!!

These 650 questions can be scaffolded for use with sophisticated writers, all the way to my special ed. ELL students. Even if half of one per cent (approx. 3) of them are culled and expanded upon, progress is made. THANK YOU!

Thank you NY Times for helping to educate our children. I hope other teachers utilize this valuable resource.
