Character Change Story Planning
Use the camping-trip ideas and prompts to plan a character’s change. Then draft two paragraphs. There is no single correct story, so make your own choices.
Build your character and plot
Choose details that help the reader understand what changes and why it matters.
1.Create a main character for a camping-trip story. Give the character a name and one detail about what they enjoy or are good at.
2.Which event would create a clear change for a character on a camping trip?
- The character discovers that the group’s usual campsite is closed, so everyone must camp somewhere unfamiliar.
- The character eats the same snack they packed yesterday.
- The character sees a bird fly over the campsite.
- The character puts a sleeping bag inside the tent.
3.Invent one important change for your character during the camping trip. Explain exactly what happens and when.
4.Match each feeling to a clue that could show it in a story. Feelings: nervous, disappointed, relieved, curious. Clues: asks lots of questions about a strange trail; shoulders relax after the lost map is found; looks down after the planned canoe trip is cancelled; grips a torch tightly when hearing a noise outside the tent.
- Nervous
- Disappointed
- Relieved
- Curious
- Looks down when the planned canoe trip is cancelled.
- Asks lots of questions about a strange trail.
- Shoulders relax after the lost map is found.
- Grips a torch tightly after hearing a noise outside the tent.
5.For your character’s change, choose a feeling and explain what the character might do or say to show that feeling without naming it.
6.What new difficulty could the change cause on the camping trip? Describe one problem your character must try to solve.
Draft the opening paragraphs
Use your plan. Include details that let the reader picture the moment and understand your character’s response.
7.Write the first paragraph of your story. Introduce the camping trip, then show the moment something changes for your character. You could begin: “The trip had been going smoothly until…”
8.Write the next paragraph. Show the problem the change creates and how your character begins to respond. You could begin: “With the plans suddenly different, the character had to…”
