WRITING GUIDE

STEP ONE

1. Think about what you want to include in your story. (e.g. information about the people in

the painting such as their name, age and family situation, where they are, what they are

doing, their feelings, background events, what is going to happen next etc.).

2. Think about the tone of your story. Is it going to be sad, humorous, etc?

3. Decide who is going to be the narrator. You can write your story in the first or in the thirdperson.

4. Write your first draft.

STEP TWO

1. When you finish, exchange drafts with another group.

2. Look at the painting your friends are writing about, read their story and make comments

to help them make it more interesting and vivid. What else do you want to know about

the people in the painting and / or the events in the story?

3. Help each other with language if necessary.

STEP THREE

1. Write your second draft.

2. If possible, scan the paintings, enlarge them and make coloured photocopies.
