PRE-WRITING/PLANNING
It is important to plan what you are going towrite so it will make sense to the reader.
Remember that you are trying to communicate
with others.
If you write a story, it should have a clearbeginning, middle, and end.
Think about your characters and how each one
would act in the story---what they will say, howthey will feel, what actions they will take---that
makes them different from all the others.
