What is a narrative format regarding an introduction on a famous or historical figure?My assignment is to write a 300-500 word introduction...

A narrative format is in the form of a story with "an
introduction, plot, characters, setting, climax, and conclusion." What I would
understand your assignment to mean would be that your teacher wants you to pick a famous
or historical figure and write a history of their life. It may be written from your
href="http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/685/04/">point of view (as
if you are the famous or historical figure) or from a thrid-person point of
view.

If a narrative is written from a first-person or
third-person perspective, you'd use a story format. Think about telling someone about
what happened over the summer--how did your plans begin? How did you prepare? What
happened? How did it end? Write narratives in chronological
order.

My suggestion would be for you to choose someone
that you know a lot about and detail the story of their life, or a chunk of their life,
from first- or third-person perspective while adhering to
facts.

I hope this helps, and good luck. Below is the link
to a writing site that my own students use.
