Write a Day in My Life Project

A "day in my life" piece is a personal narrative that takes the reader through a single day — either a typical day or a special one. This type of writing uses time to organize ideas, and powerful time connectives to help the reader follow the sequence of events. The best "day in my life" pieces also include personal reflection and sensory details that make the day come alive.
