How To Write A Good Story
After marking your 1st notes expansion, I noticed that most of you do not have much grammar mistakes except a few of you . That is a good point. However, some of your stories are too short. You are only expanding the notes . I don't see much effort!
As I have mentioned in class, a good story must have :
1. Introduction ( When / Who / What / Where ? ) ,
2. The body ( the event / incident ) and
3. The ending ( end with an idiom or a lesson learnt. )
To make your story more interesting and different from others, add adjectives to the nouns ( people, things, animals, places ) and adverbs to verbs ( actions ).
Put in your own ideas. Use similies or idioms which are appropriate.
As usual , proofread your work and edit .

Now it's your turn
Now its your turn. Pick your favourite theme.
Decide:
1) For what purpose will you write?
2) What mood do you want to convey?
Think of the images and descriptive words that best describe that noun.
Jot them down in web form or as you think of them.
Then the final step is to experiment by putting your ideas on the Haiku "skeleton" - 5, 7, 5 (syllables) and 3 lines.
Look at your poem, check it for correct syllables and lines.
Edit if neccessary. then put it up in your webpage at Thinkquest.com.
Finish by illustrating your poem with photos or pictures drawn using Paintbrush.
