Writing a story: Planning

There are four main steps in planning a story. Follow each step making notes on a planning sheet.  This will make your story easier to write and much more interesting to read once you have written it.

Remember, it’s fine to make rough, scribbled, notes when planning (as long as you can read them!) but always use neat, clear writing when it comes to writing the story.
