What happens to Kath, Helen and Kevin after the story ends? Does Kath learn her lesson and change her ways? Do Kath and Helen become best friends and lead the school to victories in National music competitions? You will continue the story. Being sure to stay true to the details and events of the original story you can choose how it continues.
How to begin.
A. Develop a plot idea. List the characters you want to include and relevant details from the original story.
B. Draft the outline that describes the plot, setting, narrative point of view and the main conflict.
C. Using your guide, start to write out your story. Keep the reader in mind: what do you need to do grab their interest?
D. Spot check time: Peer editing is key to the success of any writer. When you are creatively engaging in developing a piece it is hard to look at it from the readers perscpective. Having a peer look over your story gives you the opportunity to spot check if your story is on the right track. They can check to see that your plot has a logical flow. That your characters have enough detail and description to make them realistic to the reader. They can also check to see that dialogue and description are working together to move your plot along. A good peer editor will also give you ideas to polish up your work - take out the bits that aren't making it work and add new stuff - so that the final product is a true reflection of your creative labours.
