I know what type of writing I'm doing (story, report, letter, etc.)

I have brainstormed my main ideas

I know who my audience is

I have organised my ideas in order

To tell a story

To inform or explain

To persuade someone

To describe something

Characters: Who is in my story? Are they interesting?

Setting: Where and when does my story happen?

Problem: What challenge do my characters face?

Events: What happens in my story? (beginning, middle, end)

Solution: How is the problem solved?

I used interesting adjectives (describing words)

I used strong verbs (action words)

I included details that help readers picture my ideas

I used similes or metaphors to make comparisons

My writing makes sense and flows well

I checked my spelling and punctuation

My sentences are different lengths

I read my writing aloud to check it sounds good

My writing matches my purpose and audience
