Short Story
Short-story writing gives you
the opportunity to let your
imagination soar—freedom some
students love and others find
intimidating. Breaking your
short story into manageable
tasks can make it a little
easier.
Task 1: Requirements
Make sure you understand what
your teacher expects of you.
Review all of the information
you have about the assignment
and verify that you can answer
the following questions. If you
don’t know an answer, ask your
teacher.
·
What are you expected to hand
in?
·
When is your assignment due?
·
Is there a requirement for
length?
·
Did your teacher provide any
other guidelines for the
assignment?
Task 2: Topic
Whether you’re starting from
scratch or your teacher gave you
a starting point—such as a
general theme or setting—your
first job is to decide what to
write about.
1. Start by brainstorming. Don’t
censor yourself—write down any
ideas for your short story that
come to mind. If you’re having
trouble coming up with ideas,
consider using something that
you know, such as a hobby or a
special interest. Pick the idea
that most appeals to you as your
topic. Example: Your teacher
asks you to write a short story
from the perspective of a
teenager. You’ve learned a lot
about children from your after
school job at a day care, so you
decide to write about a teenager
who is raising a younger sibling
by himself.
2. Define the goal of your short
story. Every story has a reason
for being told. What is yours?
Example: Your story will
illustrate the difficulties that
a teenage boy and his younger
brother experience in their life
without parents.
