Writing Literature You will plan, write, and revise a short narrative story that explores an appropriate theme and is at least five
pages long. Be sure to follow the steps of the writing process to ensure a polished final draft.

Part A
Outlining
Using your notes during the brainstorming process, begin outlining as you develop the structure and elements
of your story. Outlining helps organize and develop your characters and plot. As you form your outline, write
down the order of events as you see them. Remember, your short narrative should be at least five pages in
length and should discuss a consistent theme throughout. Writing a story is a fluid process, so you may notice
that your initial plan changes periodically as you outline and draft your story.
