Examples of Personal Narratives

For those of you who like to work from examples when you write your essays, here are some personal narratives by students from previous semesters:

"An Emergency in Croatia" --

"Another Trip to the ER" --
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B59oU02C12STUkl4eUtMM1hjRkk/edit

(Note: These essays are intended to get you started, to get you thinking about writing a personal narrative of your own. Writing like these students does not guarantee you an A. Of course, if you want to try to grade these essays on your own, based on the parameters in the Essay 1 rubric, you might start to figure out what these students do effectively and what they don't.)
