Storytelling guidelines

 

 

 

 

Telling a story in an effective way can be quite a challenge. This page intends to offer students some insights into the story writing process.

A basic plan in a narrative would include:

  • An introductory paragraph, in which you introduce the characters and set the scene.
  • The main body of the story (2 or more paragraphs), in which the main events are described, leading to a possible climax.
  • The final paragraph (the ending), where you can refer to consequences, people’s feelings etc.

 

Here are some tips to keep in mind during the story writing process:

  • Stories can be written in the first or third person and can be about real or imaginary events.
  • We normally use past tense in stories.
  • Stories describe a sequence of events. The use of linking words such as: First, Then/Next, After/Before, During/Meanwhile, No sooner…than, Finally etc will give your story coherence.
  • Using a variety of adjectives (terrified, thrilling etc) and adverbs (fearlessly, cautiously etc) will make your story more interesting to read.
  • You can use descriptions of people, places or objects to create atmosphere and emphasize specific parts of the narration.
