Ingredients for a good story
● Plan your story on paper. Think who is it about? What is going to happen in the end? What exciting and interesting things will happen along the way?
∗ A ‘punchy’ start that ‘grabs’ the readers attention, such as speech, onomatopoeia or a piece of great description.
● Three well described characters (looks, experiences and personality)
∗ At least FOUR indented paragraphs
● A sub-plot or flashback using ‘Meanwhile …….
∗ A list to show that you know how to use punctuation; commas, colons, semi-colons etc.
● A conversation to show ̋ direct speech ̏ and new speech, new line.
∗ A well structured story, having a beginning, middle and an appropriate end.
● When you have finished, edit the story. Read your story VERY carefully, asking yourself, ‘Does this make sense?’ If it doesn’t, change the sentence so that it makes sense!
