It was a brilliant summer’s day smack in the middle of the school holidays. Whether you choose to start the story by giving the end away just like Shakespeare did in his play Romeo and Juliet or you start in the middle of lots of action or even with very little action at all, you will definitely need to start in a way that hooks your reader – and do so pretty quickly. You should aim to hook the reader into the story with the 'plot hook'. This part of your story must work to engage your reader, beginning to absorb them into your 'story-world'. Here is a typical story structure that will help you to keep your own story moving through different stages in a compelling way – and help make sure you don’t accidentally ramble on! Opening Like all texts, stories also have their own basic 'recipe' called 'genre conventions'. The most important thing is that you choose a story you can write well, showing off your skill in using language effectively and keeping your reader entertained.Ī short story needs to be compelling to read and to be this it needs to be given an effective structure. You could write a story about a political party, or a doll’s tea party, or a party held by fans to watch the final episode of a TV show everyone is very excited about, or a party that didn’t actually happen because no one turned up. So this means that for the title ‘The Party’, you could write a lovely descriptive piece about your dream birthday party, or a personal account of a party you attended that was very good – or very bad.
