English Composition - Planning & Pre-Writing a Story

Firstly brainstorm for ideas by asking questions. Who could be the main character? What problem might need to be solved? When does the story happen? Where does the story take place? Then plan the story by listing what happened at first, what happened then, what happened next and finally what happened at the end.

English Composition - Writing an Introduction or Opening

Start by writing the first few sentences of your story by using sound, talking, question and setting. Use sound to attract attention of readers, like "Boom! I heard a loud crash.". "Go away!" is an example of dialog. Ask questions like, "Have you ever been to Legoland?" Setting is a description of the place and time of the story, like "One dark, stormy night last weekend, I was home alone."

English Composition - Writing a Draft

Draft your story by answering the question "What important events happened?" Write down the important things that happened. Use transition words like first, then, next, after, last and finally. Write the main points then fill in the details, for example "First, my mum came to my room to talk to me......Then we got into the car and drove to the mall.....Finally, we put the dog in the car to take him home......"

English Composition - Writing a Closing or Conclusion

End your story. You can rephrase your opening, say what you feel and share the lesson learned. Look at the examples: "I love my toy so much, I can't wait to play with it even more!"; "Next time, it rains, I will definitely be on the lookout for slippery pathway."; "I hope I can go back to Legoland again during the next school holiday!" Use good phrases or idioms to summary the story, such as "Honesty is the best policy, I have learnt that being honest is the best thing to do...."

English Composition - Revising

Revise your story, making sure the writing makes sense. Make the writing sounds better by adding adjectives and deleting words that are not important.

English Composition - Editing

Edit the writing. Check for spelling, punctuation and capitalisation.
