Biographical or autobiographical narrative

According to the Indiana Department of Education's Academic Standards for English 9,

9.5.1 Write biographical or autobiographical narratives or short stories that:

• describe a sequence of events and communicate the significance of the events to the audience.
• locate scenes and incidents in specific places.
• describe with specific details the sights, sounds, and smells of a scene and the specific actions, movements, gestures, and feelings of the characters; in the case of short stories or autobiographical narratives, use interior monologue (what the character says silently to self) to show the character’s feelings.
• pace the presentation of actions to accommodate changes in time and mood.

Example:

Write a personal narrative showing an audience the story of a particular object of significance in one’s life.
