Thursday’s writing – Begin your story First: Can you tell someone in your household what your story is going to be about. If this is not possible, say your story out loud to yourself. You can even think of some actions to show your story too. All of this will help you to be confident in your ideas and remember the order of your events.

Thursday’s writing – Begin your story Today, we are focusing on the first part of your story: Opening Problem (half of) Dilemma

Thursday’s writing – Begin your story Opening Introduce your character – thoughtful description by using ‘show, don’t tell’ Character + Action + Powerful description e. g. Justin pushed back his scruffy mess of tawny hair, unperturbed by it sticking up in unusual directions, and allowed his eyes to grow as round as saucers as he stared at bright lights of the surrounding funfair.

Thursday’s writing – Begin your story Problem Don’t skip the detail! Build your character’s excitement. How will you show the reader that they’re really excited? Which sentence shows rather than tells here? 1) Feeling excited, Justin rushed towards the Jurassic Giants roller coaster as he smiled gleefully. 2) Spotting the Jurassic Giants roller coaster, Justin felt an enormous smile creep across his face while he swiftly joined the queue.

Thursday’s writing – Begin your story Dilemma What is your dilemma? How does your character solve this? What triggers this idea for your character? Your reader will become invested (they want your character to have a good story) in your character so you need to keep them hooked.

Friday’s writing – End your story Today, we are focusing on the second part of your story: (finish) Dilemma Resolution Ending

Friday’s writing – End your story Resolution This is where you need your reader to be supporting your character with however you have chosen them to solve their dilemma. Remember: Don’t skip the detail! Build it up – Did your character struggle? Did they sell something? How long did it take them? Has their appearance changed?
