📋 Part 1: Story Planner

Use this organiser to plan your imaginative story before you write. Think creatively — there are no wrong answers!

1. Who is your main character? Describe them in a few words (e.g., name, personality, appearance).

2. Where and when does your story take place? Describe the setting vividly.

💡 Vocabulary prompts: eerie, bustling, ancient, shimmering, remote, mysterious

3. What is the problem or conflict your character faces?

💡 Sentence starter: "Everything changed when ..."

4. How is the problem resolved? What does your character learn or discover?

💡 Sentence starter: "In the end, ..."

5. Which literary devices will you include in your story? Tick all that you plan to use.

Simile — comparing using "like" or "as" (e.g., as cold as ice)

Metaphor — describing something as if it IS something else (e.g., the moon was a lantern)

Alliteration — repeating starting sounds (e.g., silently, she slipped away)

Personification — giving human qualities to non-human things (e.g., the wind whispered)

✏️ Part 2: Story Writing

Using your planner, write the opening paragraph of your story. Focus on vivid descriptions and engaging language. Aim to hook your reader straight away!

6. Write your opening paragraph below. Try to include at least one literary device from your list above.

💡 Sentence starters: "The moment I stepped inside ...", "Nobody believed me when I said ...", "It was the strangest thing I had ever seen ..."

7. Self-edit check: Read your paragraph and tick each box if you have included it.

I introduced my character or setting clearly.

I used at least one descriptive adjective or adverb.

I used at least one literary device (simile, metaphor, alliteration, or personification).

My sentences make sense and are easy to follow.

🎨 Part 3: Story Illustration

Draw a scene from your story — it could be your setting, your character, or the key moment of conflict. Add a caption below your drawing.

8. Illustrate a key moment or setting from your story.

Caption: Describe what is happening in your illustration in one sentence.
