WRITING THE STORY –THE OUTLINE ☺ I The TITLE Make it refer to a person, thing, place or event Add dots, exclamation or question mark to it to make it sound more dramatic II Before you start, decide on: - What happened? - Where it happened? - When it happened? - How it happened? - Why it happened? - How it ended? - Whether it’s a 1st person narrative: and so if it’s just a memory of a past event, a reflection of it (Introduction: Before it happened + Main Body: What happened + Conclusion), or it is a story of suspense where events lead to a certain climax (Introduction + Main Body: Before it happened, What happened, How it ended + Conclusions) - Whether it’s a 3rd person narrative: (Introduction : who, where, when, why + Main Body: what happened first/ what occurred next/ climax + Conclusions: the end, your feelings, comments) II Techniques to begin or end a story Start your story by: - Describing weather, surroundings, people, etc. using the senses - Using direct speech - Asking a rhetorical question (-expects no answer) - Creating mystery or suspense - Referring to your feelings or moods - Addressing the reader directly End your story by: Using direct speech Referring to your feelings or moods Describing people’s reactions to the events developed in the main body Creating mystery or suspense Asking a rhetorical question More than one technique can be used in the beginning or ending of your story.
