Writing

A story

Writing Tip

Writing stories

Stories can be about real or imaginary situation. They can be in first person (I, we) or third person (he, she, they). Before we start writing a story, we first decide on the type of story, the main characters and the plot.
In the
first paragraph we set the scene (when/ where it happened, main characters, weather, what happened first).
In the
main body paragraphs, we describe the events in the order they happened leading to the climax event (the main event), and the main event. In the final paragraph we write what happened in the end and how the character(s) felt.
We normally use
past tenses and time linkers (as, when, after, later, while, suddenly, final, etc) to help the reader follow our story. We can also use a variety of adjectives and adverbs and direct speech to make our story more interesting to the reader.

Study skills

Understanding rubrics

To plan piece of writing you need to understand the rubric as it contains information on the imaginary situation, the imaginary reader which will help you decide what style you will write in, the type of writing and any specific details.

  2. Who is going to read it?
  3. What should your piece of writing be about?
  4. How many words should you write in?
  5. Will your narrative be in first person or the third person?

The Runaway train 
by John Brown

During my summer holiday, my friends James and I were travelling across the USA. One day, we decided to take a journey on a stream train which became a thrilling adventure.  Little did we know that we were in for a terrifying experience.

We had been enjoying the smooth ride when something went terribly wrong. We had just come out of a tunnel and we were slowly making our way down a hill when suddenly there was a loud screeching noise. Then, instead of slowing down we began to speed up.

People started screaming frantically. As we all held onto our seats, the train stared rocking dangerously from side to side. A man got out of his seat and ran quickly to the front of the train. A few minutes later, the train began to slow down. Soon after that, we pulled into the next station and we all got up anxiously to see what had happened. It seems the driver had hit his head and fallen unconscious.

Luckily, the passenger had got there in time to slow down the train and save the day. We were relieved to hear that no one had been hurt and that the driver was well.

 Good morning! Glad to see you! I hope you are fine, aren’t you? Then let’s start.

I know from our home-reading lessons that all of you like reading. By the way, what kinds of stories do you know? (Science fiction, romance, action/adventure, drama, comedy, horror, fairy-tale, murder/mystery). Which ones do you enjoy reading? And why?

  1. Актуализация и пробное учебное действие (3 мин)

 

 But have you ever tried creating your own stories? Have you succeeded in it?  If you follow some rules and tips we’re going to learn today, you’ll create your stories easily.

By the way, do you know how many parts a story consists of? What are they?

What tense do we usually use while writing a story?

Do you know any time linkers?

You will be able to answer all these questions after reading writing tips in your SB/

  1. Постановка учебной задачи (5 мин)

Let’s read writing tips on p.20 in SB (здесь и дальше см. файл «копия урока» in appendix) and see if your guesses were correct or not. Look through the tips, please!

 What new facts have you got to know?

Let’s work in groups. (2 minutes). Well, what makes a story interesting? I’ll give a word map (see “presentation - slide 2”). Look and in a minute add as many words as you can think of.

 Let’s check. Listen to each of the groups attentively and try not to repeat the words you’ll hear. So, what words do you know related to story structure? And what adjectives would you like to use to describe plot & climax, for example?

And this time look at the slide (slide 3) and add the words to the categories in your word map. Some words can be used to describe different categories.

 Look and check.

To plan your piece of writing you need to understand the rubric as it contains information on the imaginary situation, the imaginary reader which will help you decide what style you will write in, the type of writing and any specific details. Read the rubric of ex.1 and look at the key words in bold. Answer the questions.

  1. What are you going to write?
  2. Who is going to read it?
  3. What should your piece of writing be about?
  4. How many words should you write in?
  5. Will your narrative be in first person or the third person?

  1. Открытие нового знания (14 мин)

This time we are going to read and work on a model story. Look through the text and answer the question (ex.2):

  1. How does the writer set the scene?
  2. What is the climax event?
  3. What happened in the end?
  4. How did the characters feel?

Put the sentences in the correct order (ex. 3).

Before I explain what we’re going to do, let’s divide into 3 teams. Well, the task is to replace at least three words (more words are possible) in the text’s paragraphs using synonyms but not to change the meaning of the sentence. Just now I’ll give you an example and while listening to me try to count or even write down how many words I’ve replaced. Look at the first paragraph in the text! “On my summer holiday my friend James and I were travelling across America. Once we made up our mind to have a journey by steam train which became a breathtaking adventure.  Little did we know that we were in for a shocking experience.”  So, how many words have I replaced? (7 words)  Look at the slide (slide5) and check. Now it’s your turn. 1-st group – paragraph 2, the 2-nd group – paragraph 3 and the last one – 4.

So, you can see that using synonyms helps you make you story much more interesting.

Ex.4 p.20

  1. Which adjectives has the writer used to describe the following?

  1. ………………… …….           2. …………………ride

adventure                       3. …………………noise

KEY: 1 thrilling 2 smooth  3 screeching

Think of synonyms to these words:

Thrilling – fascinating, catching, exciting, gripping

Smooth – easy, comfortable, calm, quiet

Screeching – strong, severe, sharp, acute (резкий) 

Ex.5 p.21

  1. Write the adverbs the writer has used to describe the following:

1 making our way ………………….

2 screaming …………………………..

3 train rocking ………………………

4 ran ……………………………………..

5 we got up …………………………….

KEY: 1 slowly 2 frantically 3 dangerously 4 quickly 5 anxiously

Think of antonyms to these words:

Slowly – rapidly, fast, quickly

Frantically – calmly, quietly, easily

Dangerously – safely, riskless, lightly, securely

Quickly – slowly, calmly, gently, gradually

Anxiously – easily, peacefully, happily, calmly
