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?” Tyler asked, inquisitively.

With a knowing grin, Maddy 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.
