Perfect paragraphs and webbing are also good for expanding ideas that can later be integrated into essays or really anything. I've found them very applicable in many things other than writing.

Pre-writing Guru
I've used a method called 'perfect paragraphs'. Basically they involve webbing out an intro paragraph with a grabber, three main points, and a thesis, three paragraphs to further expand the other points, and a conclusion paragraph to tie them all together.
My sophomore English teacher taught us this strategy of prewriting and I've found it very effective at maintaining structure yet still allowing my ideas to grow inside their clean lines. I've used it on my writing HISPE for high school, and I received a four; the highest score.

Great strategy and a great graphic too! For your Ed.Narrative, you may find the five paragraph format a bit too confining, but there's no one right way to do the assignment; just play around with the organization and see where it takes you.
