Writing a Good Story
•
•
When you write a story make sure you include a setting , plot , atmosphere
, character traits and goals. Try not to introduce all the characters at
once one point in the story. Make sure you explain the characters with
colorful language, such as intelligent , ambitious , contientous , etc., instead
of words such as nice , smart , kind , yuckie , ect.
Before you write your story think about what type of story it's going to be
such as, gothic (scary), mystery , and comedy. Your story should always
have a conclusion at the end of your story. You should have mature
vocabulary in your story. This means that you should expand your resources
in explaining what words mean. Also, use proper punctuation. Punctuation is
what you end your sentences in, such as . ? ! . Put a ? when the sentence
asks something , put a period when the sentence is stating , declaring , or
demanding something. Use an ! when the sentence is saying something
exciting or shocking. Most importantly use colorful language.
