Writing 

Ready, set, read

If you are having Writer's Block and can't think of what to write about, have a look below ideas. Also, if you want to know some tips on writing stories, look below.

 

 

Sizzling Starts

You want your story to have a good start, to make the reader 

want to read more for example,

 

It was a normal day until I found a secret passage at the end

of the street. I knew I shouldn’t be there so I turned around but

I saw a giant dinosaur that didn’t look very friendly! So I ran

very fast and as far away as I could, but it was no use. The

dinosaur was right behind me. I kept running even though

I knew that it’s not possible to escape this ferocious beast.

 

Make it seem like there is no hope for the character.

 

Ban the Boring Bits

Everyone gets up, has breakfast, brushes their teeth, stuff like

that. But if you write it it your story it will get a bit boring. The

heros never travel, they just arrive...Unless the traveling is really

exciting!

 

Exciting Endings

You want to end the story happily and exciting. Here are some types of endings and examples:

 

  • Surprise the reader: That was the last time I ate strawberries!

  • Share a laugh: There was even mud up our dog's nose!

  • Ask a question: I wonder what would have happened if I stayed home from school that day?

  • Hint about the future: Next time I will bring an umbrella!​

Poems

You don't have to only read books, you can write them too! You dont have to even write books, you can write poems too!

 

Acrostic: Uses the word going down. But these don't have to rhyme

D-dogs are 

O-obedient and 
G-good at learning tricks,

S-sometimes very silly!

 

Preposition: Uses words like over, under, around, across, in.

Over the fence,

Across the river

Through the bushes

Around the house

In the sky

There was a fly!

 

Limerick: (Pronounced Lim-rik) Funny, 5 lined poem. The first, second and fifth lines, the longer lines, rhyme. The third and fourth shorter lines rhyme. (A-A-B-B-A)

There once was a boy named Jake

Who baked a very nice cake

He left it to cool

Just by the pool

But then it just fell in the lake!

 

Haiku: (Pronounced Hi-coo) Has 3 lines, the first line has 5 syllables, second line has 7 and the 3rd and last line repeats another 5. Usually about nature.

An old silent pond..

SPLASH! A frog jumps into the pond

SPLASH! Silence again

 

Cinquain: (Pronounced sin-cane) 5 lines. 1 word, 2 words, 3 words, 4 words, 1 word.

Fish

So fast

SPLISH SPLASH SPLOSH!

So many beautiful colours

Ponds
