Part 3 - Writing The Script (30 min)

(building on our outlines, bios and storyboards to write creatively)

Use the following template to write the narrative of your story:

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)
