Script%20Template.pages

Use the following resources to inform the narrative of your story:

1. 17 Step Outline
2. Character Biographies
3. Storyboards

These three items will work as a roadmap to telling your story. It may help to tell this story to a friend or neighbor before or as you write.

Remember we are NOT writing a traditional story; we ARE writing a story that is to be told. That means that when writing your story it should “sound” like your natural voice. Feel free to use the following in your story:

1. Slang
2. Colloquialisms
3. Conjunctions (can’t , won’t, etc.)
4. Run-on sentences

However, as this is a school project that may mean the difference between going to 11th grade or even graduating (!), do not use the following in your story:

1. Profanities
2. Sexually explicit language
3. Hate speech
4. Cliches (unless ironically)

UD, read the following 3 writing tips. Feel free to apply this to your story of the day.

1. Killer titles. You've got to kick-start your articles by using punchy titles that can get your audience to pay attention to your copies. This is important as this is the first step to connect with your readers. I suggest that you keep your titles short and that you carefully choose the words that you're going to use. It's better if you choose those that target your readers' emotions or those that can pique their curiosity.

2. Lead paragraph. Once your readers opened your articles, they'll decide if they're read them until the end based on how your first paragraph was written. As you surely want these people to read your article in their entirety, it's highly recommended to make sure that your lead paragraph is impacting and that it will leave a lasting impression. You really don't need to tell your readers everything they need to know in this section. I suggest that you keep them interested by using questions that you're going to answer on your article body or if you challenge common beliefs and use intriguing statements.

3. Article body. Your articles must contain every piece of data or information your readers are looking for. It must be well-written, very organized, and readable. Also, it must help you communicate your expertise in your field and it must speak volumes about your great writing skills.
