What the heck is going on?

• What are these two people doing?

• What are their names?
• What are they talking about?
• Write a creative paragraph describing the
scene.
…but how did they get there?

• Now that you’ve described some action,

tell us how they got there. Write an
introduction / prologue describing the
situation(s) that put these two people
there.
WHAT?!...I can’t hear you!

• Give these people dialogue! Don’t just

outline the things they are saying, but
make them actually SAY it!

“But how do we do that?” Katie asked,

inquisitively.
With a knowing grin, Ryan responded, “I
guess we need to review our rules as a
class!”
Paint a Mental Picture
Make the story better.

Add words that give this story LIFE!

Using your creative prowess, use adjectives and

adverbs to creative a mental picture.

Like the literary ninjas that you are, instill in us a

sense of being in the story – allowing our very
senses to be filled with the experience you have
created.
Now what?

• As these two individuals wrap up their

meeting, what’s going to happen? What
will be the last words they say to each
other? What action(s) will they leave on?
Write the epilogue.
