Narrative Performance Task Example

One Dirty Ride(Narrative Writing)

Written by:Ms. S. Hines

Disclaimer: Based on a story found online. Author unknown.

On a warm summer day, in Punta Cana, when I yelled “Sure, let’s go on an

adventure!” who would have known I was going to experience the most

excitement of my life with my daughter, Julia.

From the resort, Julia and I boarded a windowless bus

anticipating the adventure. We were surrounded by others

awaiting a day of fun.

The bus driver explained that it would be “a short drive” but that we should “sit back and enjoy the

countryside of Dominican Republic.”

When we arrived at the location for the adventure, we were

immediately seated. The tour guides gave us precise instructions on how to operate the

4-wheelers.

I just hoped that I could remember everything that we were told to do

because I did not want my daughter to get hurt.“Keep your

sunglasses on at all times!” said the tour

guide.

After listening to the instructions, putting on our protective gear, and hopping into the car it was time to take off and be one with

nature.

Soaring through the country streets of Dominican Republic,

weaving in and out of traffic, was exhilarating.
