 * Setting:**

In chronological order, list the main events of the story / narrative. **Hint:** focus your narrative on the key moment where the change occurred. -6th grade, became president unwillingly -had to attend many activities and events that required speaking skills & other public skills -became bolder, more comfortable with public speaking -at first, I didn't know that I changed, but I was different
 * Plot:**

What is the major problem in the story that produces the change in you? Describe this conflict in several complete sentences. I was forced to run for the president of the student body, and I actually became one. By this event, I had to face lots of events and be MCs. By doing lots of these, my personality changed from timid to outgoing.
 * Conflict:**

Are there any key moments in the story where dialogue would be effective? List these moments here. -teacher talking to me about running for president
 * Dialogue:**

List any sensory details that will be important in your narrative: sight, smells, sounds, tastes, touch, and movement. -sight: for seeing the result -sound: for hearing people cheer and talk
 * Sensory Details:**

How did you change? What did you learn? Why is it significant? ->My personality changed a lot. I was always afraid of public speaking and was shy in front of strangers. However, after being president, I finally changed into a courageous person. This is significant because I always wanted to change to an outgoing person in front of unfamiliar people but I couldn't before this event.
