                    Tips for story writing:

                    Before writing a story, always-

                    a.  identify the conflict, characters and setting
                    b.  plot your ideas on a plot diagram first

                    c.  use sensory language and transition words


                Write a short story using any one conflict mentioned. Work in pairs and share

                ideas first. Follow the plot diagram. Before you begin writing, remember—
                €   keep just two characters

                €   have just 4-5 rising action events; the climax and 2-3 falling action events

                €   plot your story ideas on the plot diagram before writing in detail

                €   do not forget to give a title to your story
