Plan and write

A fairy tale often has a beginning that introduces the characters and place, a middle where a problem needs solving, and an ending that wraps things up. Use descriptive words and time words such as first, next and finally.

5.Plan a fairy tale set at a magical swimming carnival. Jot down notes for each part: characters, setting, problem, what the characters do, and how the story ends.

Draw an important moment from your planned fairy tale. Add details that help a reader imagine the place and characters.

6.Write two or three opening sentences for your fairy tale. Introduce a character and the setting, and include at least one descriptive word from your plan.

7.Choose one writing goal to practise next time, such as adding describing words or using time words to order events.
