In both writing and speaking, anecdotes are a powerful way to communicate your thoughts and connect with your audience. However, don’t worry if storytelling doesn’t come naturally to you. For most people, crafting a strong anecdote requires practice and revision.
Locate your file containing this module’s journal assignment, paste the prompt below at the end of the document, and label the entry with this lesson’s title. Then type a response to the prompt.
Journal
Describe an experience of your own in the form of an anecdote, using what you're learned about making an anecdote effective.
When you have written a complete and detailed answer to the journal prompt, save the file so that you can open it again for the next lesson with a journal assignment. (You will submit your journal to your teacher for grading once or twice during the module.)
