My Short Story

Short story

For this piece of writing I have focusing on my vocabulary and punctuation. I have been learning to:  
  • use a range of precise vocabulary to communicate meaning (Year ⅞)
  • use all basic punctuation independently and attempt more complex punctuation (eg semicolons, colons, parentheses)

The pieces of my writing that are highlighted green are where I have shown my punctuation goal

I can describe the structure of a Short Story

Something I have learned about the structure of short stories is that they have characters,a setting and action.

After reading some short stories two things I will remember when I write my own short story are that there is always a problem and an outcome.
