✏️ Part 2: Plan and Write Endings
5. Plan your ending for the opening in Question 1. Briefly note the resolution, one emotion to highlight, and one piece of dialogue you will include.
6. Write your story ending here. Aim for a clear resolution and use at least one sentence of dialogue. (About 6–12 sentences)
7. Reflect: How does your ending change the reader's understanding of the opening? Write one or two sentences.
8. Peer review: Ask a classmate to read your ending. Write one positive comment and one suggestion they gave.
9. Optional creative task: Quickly sketch the key moment from your ending (a character, object or setting). Label one detail that adds to the mood.
