A good story should follow this structure: Beginning - Setting the scene. Do the characters have a problem to solve? Middle – What do the characters do? Who else do they meet? End – How does the story finish? Have the characters solved their problem? Planning a story

Before you start writing your story think about what happened when you acted it out in your groups. Did the story you came up with fit this structure or do you need to add more to the middle or a good ending? Write down what will happen in each stage of your story before you start trying to write it. Planning a story

Once you have planned what is going to happen in your story you can start to write it. Make sure you use words that fit the type of story that you want to write. For example if you want it to sound exciting use energetic words to help give the story the right sort of atmosphere. Writing your story
