Do your best to use APA formatting, double spacing, 12-point typeface, and a title page (see the Introduction to APA online lecture in Week 1). This handout will explain the details of formatting your essay using APA style.
You may create your essay in this APA-formatted template.

Additional Guidelines:
Purpose:
- There should be a purpose behind telling the story that speaks in some way to someone else.
Audience:
- For our purposes, consider your audience to be your instructor and your classmates, who represent a wide range of experiences and backgrounds.
Form:
- Narrative essays share a familiar structure. They have titles, introductions, body paragraphs, and conclusions, but they also afford the writer a great deal of freedom and creativity to share your story in a way that is true to your experiences. Have some fun with this essay, but do keep in mind that you are in a college class, so your story should be appropriate for the context and the audience.
