Write a profilto Step 1: Think about a STORY you want to write. It can be completely made up, or a personal narrative (something that actually happened to you).
Examples: an embarrassing story, the first time you rode a roller coaster, when you made the game winning catch, the day you got a puppy, etc.
It can be ANY STORY you want to tell. It can be a happy, sad, exciting, any kind of story! Once you decide what your story is going to be about, write an introduction for your story using the Concept Web on page 3 of 9. Remember that your introduction should do the following:
get the reader's interest (hook)
give the reader a setting/context
introduce the narrator (point of view)
introduce a main character
Step 2: Then, use the story idea you had for your introduction to outline events for the plot. Use the Flowchart on page 6 of 9. Be sure to use dialogue (quotation marks of people speaking) in your story.
