This worksheet is designed to help you plan and write a personal narrative — a story about something that happened in your own life. Since this is a planning sheet, there’s no single “correct” answer like in math. Instead, you’ll fill it out with your own real-life experience.
Let’s walk through how to complete each part:
---
Step 1: Write Your Name
At the top left, write your name in the box labeled “Name.”
---
Step 2: Choose a Story Title
Think of a short, catchy title for your story. For example:
→ “The Day I Learned to Ride a Bike”
→ “My Best Birthday Ever”
→ “When I Got Lost at the Mall”
Write that title next to “Story Title:”
---
Step 3: Fill Out the Story Summary Boxes
These four boxes help you remember the key facts of your story:
-
What happened? → Briefly say what the main event was.
*Example: I fell off my bike and scraped my knee.*
-
When did it happen? → Give the time or date.
*Example: Last summer, on a Saturday afternoon.*
-
Where did it happen? → Say the place.
*Example: In front of my house, on the sidewalk.*
-
Who was there? → List people (or pets!) who were with you.
*Example: My mom and my dog, Buddy.*

Step 4: Write Story Details – Beginning, Middle, End
Now expand your story into three parts:
-
Beginning: Set the scene. Where were you? What were you doing before the main event? Who was with you?
*Example: It was a sunny Saturday. I wanted to ride my bike around the block. Mom said okay, and Buddy ran beside me.*
-
Middle: Describe the main action or problem. What went wrong? What surprised you? How did you feel?
*Example: I hit a rock and flew off the bike. My knee started bleeding. I cried, but Mom hugged me and cleaned it up.*
-
End: Tell how it ended. Did you learn something? Did you feel better? What happened after?
*Example: Mom put a bandage on my knee. We went inside for ice cream. I felt brave even though I got hurt.*
