**The outline below is typical for developing a narrative essay/long form journalism. You will want to create some variation based on your topic and purpose, so change the template to fit your purpose. Also, be aware that you may have several paragraphs where there is one Roman numeral, but this is a typical outline for a chronologically developed narrative. You can also use chronology creatively by playing with the order.**
