DirectionsStep #1 – Review the following three slides that show the beginning, middle, and end of this wordless story. Use them to fill in your story plans (Remember, you are writing to entertain!).

Step #2 – Use your story plan to fill out your wordless story packets. • Beginning: Introduce the characters, the setting, and the

problem.• Middle: Write about an attempt to solve the problem that

fails.• End: Write about how the characters eventually solve the

problem.

Step #3 – When you are done, trade papers with a partner and revise & edit each other’s work. Then write a final draft on a lined sheet of paper.
