1. Keep to two main characters – one male and one
   female – that way your reader will know which one
   you are referring to most of the time (he said, she
   said).
2. You don’t have to be original – only interesting! - it is
   a good idea to have a few really good stories that
   you tell well. Adapt these to the task you have been
   given.
3. Plan a SHORT beginning and a SHORT ending – most
   of the story should be the middle where things
   happen and characters think and feel.
4. Plan a resolution in your ending (e.g. solving a
   problem) and refer to it in the beginning – a good
   short story has the reader wondering how a problem
   is going to be resolved - and then it is.
5. Plan you last sentence – ending with a punch leaves
   your reader smiling. This is the time to be original.
6. Keep your reader informed of what is happening, and
   what characters are thinking and feeling – we cannot
   read your mind. If it isn’t written in the story it
   doesn’t happen (check #10 below).
7. DON’T start lots of sentences with the same word –
   read it over to check and cross out or substitute
   words to avoid this.
8. Include some direct speech in your story ( with
   correct punctuation) AND AT LEAST ONE piece of
   indirect speech –avoid using “said” (something like
   “the doctor replied that he had seen spots like this
   before but only on a ladybird.” Or “Katy thought to
herself that she had never seen such a strange sight
   in all her life.”)
9. Leave at least five minutes to check your story for
   all of your target points – a finished and corrected
   story is 100 times better than an unfinished and
   hurried one – whatever the style and standard.
10. Whenever you are stuck, or taking a break, read
   the story over to yourself under your breath but
   mouthing the words – if it sounds right when you
   read it out it is probably OK. If you pause when you
   are reading then check there is a pause marker (like
   a comma or fullstop).
11. Use any spare time to correct spelling – you can
   try out some attempts on your planning sheet.
12. Make sure your story has at least one question
   mark (?) exclamation mark (!) and at least three
   commas (,) –if you know how to use these punctuation
   marks you need to show off.
13. Use parentheses – either to comment or speak to
   the reader.
14. Tell your reader something directly – it helps the
   reader to feel part of the story. He/she thinks they
   are important to you.

Leave at least five minutes to check your story for all of your target points – a finished and corrected story is 100 times better than an unfinished and hurried one – whatever the style and standard. 10. Whenever you are stuck, or taking a break, read the story over to yourself under your breath but mouthing the words – if it sounds right when you read it out it is probably OK. If you pause when you are reading then check there is a pause marker (like a comma or fullstop). 11. Use any spare time to correct spelling – you can try out some attempts on your planning sheet. 12. Make sure your story has at least one question mark (?) exclamation mark (!) and at least three commas (,) –if you know how to use these punctuation marks you need to show off. 13. Use parentheses – either to comment or speak to the reader. 14. Tell your reader something directly – it helps the reader to feel part of the story. He/she thinks they are important to you.
