DRAFTING AND WRITING

USE A GRAPHIC ORGANIZER

• It will help you oranize your story.
• Try numbering your events.
• Take out events you don't need.

GOOD BEGINNINGS

• The beginning should make your audience hungry!
• Ask a question...make the reader curious.
• Set the scene...use details.
• Make it STRONG.

WRITE WITH VOICE

• You are the star!
• Your writing should sound like you.
• Show your personality!

GOOD ENDINGS

• The last few words show it is coming to an end.
• Don't write, "The End. "
• Tell how things worked out.
• Share your thoughts and feelings.
