1.
In
your book, write the
rough draft
to the beginning to a great story.
Remember, in the beginning or orientation of your
narrative, you can describe the setting where your story is set and
introduce a character. ( Look at
this chart and also
this diagram to see what you usually put in
the beginning...!)
Your character could be a child or an adult, or
even an amazing or frightening mythical creature!
In the story you write, create or make up, an
enchanting mythical beast or creature; It could be shy and funny, or
horrifying and enormous; Or it could even be from another world. The
sky's the limit!
But what would be a good way to describe the creature you make up for your story?
Explore the following two sites to help you:

Scan through the sites, and when you
find a creature that could give you good ideas for your story, make notes
about the creature and compile a list of
good words that you might use in your story.
Remember that a
thesaurus
can help you find interesting words.
2.
When
you have finished writing the beginning of your story (about a 1/2 page),
illustrate (draw and colour) the mythical creature that features in your
story.
3.
Now write the middle part and end of your story.
Don't write more than two A4
pages - keep it a simple story, with good descriptive writing so that the
reader can 'see' the events of the story in their mind.
