RECAP
The two main categories separating the genres of
literature are fiction and nonfiction. Fiction
refers to literature created from the imagination
and its main purpose is to entertain the reader.
Nonfiction refers to literature based in fact and
its main purpose is to inform the reader.
The elements of a story are setting, character and
plot.
The characters are the people or animals in the
story.
The setting talks about the place and the time
that the events in the story happened.
The plot is made up of the events that happened
in the story. It is consists of the beginning, the
middle, and the ending. The beginning gives the
problem faced by the main character.

The middle presents the actions made by the

characters to solve the problem.
The ending gives the solution to the problem.
B. Establishing a purpose for the Story writing helps children learn to organize
lesson
their thoughts and use written language to
communicate with readers in a variety of ways.
Writing stories also helps children better read,
and understand, stories written by other people.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Help You Write a
Short Story
Step 1: Think of an idea. ...
A good place to start is by reading a book. Stop
and make predictions about how the story might
end. Your alternative ending may become great
material for a new and original story. You can
also write stories based on real life experiences,
such as your first day of school, an adventure in
the park or losing your first tooth. Experience
and imagination helps to build a good plot.
Step 2: Create a character and a setting. ...
Create a character and a setting.
A. The main character can be a child, an adult or
an animal. You can borrow attribute from the
people you know or stranger you noticed.
B. The story can be set in the park, a different
country or outer space. Let your imagination run
wild!
Step 3: The Beginning. ...
Write a catchy first paragraph that will hold the
interest of the reader.
A. Introduce the main character right at the
beginning of the story. Tell about the setting. 9

B. Tell about the problem faced by the main

character. You can also introduce other
characters to shake things up in the story.
Step 4: The Middle. ...
Make a story more interesting by presenting the
actions made by the characters to solve the
problem. It can be a time where a character
discovers a hidden superpower or a surprise that
give twists to the whole story. Think of
something that the reader would least expect. It
doesn't always have to make sense – this is your
time to unlock your imagination. Give the events
in time order, from first to last.
Step 5: The Ending. ...
A. Show how the characters solve the problem.
B. Make a satisfying ending to finish a story. Tell
what happened to the characters once their
problem is resolved. Tell also what the characters
were able to finally achieve and the important
lesson they learned.
Step 6: The Polishing. ...
A. Re-read your short story.
B. Edit your short story yourself.
C. Let someone proof read and edits your short
story.
