Narrator: Hey, Frank, let’s write a story, let’s make it a spooky one!

When writing, it helps to have a plan – like this one.

But behind every good plan, there’s research.

Because we’re writing a spooky story, better get reading some spooky books.

Or even better, get some experience in the real world.

Back to that plan we had…this is where we start making notes.

Look around and think about distinctive features for your story.

Think about a setting and some characters.

The best stories have a challenge…

Ghost: OoooOOOoooOO!

Frank: ARGH!

Narrator: …and a solution.

Not to forget an exciting ending too.

We now have the makings of the world’s best spooky story!

Ghost: OooOOOoo!
