Writing a Fantasy

Prewriting Planning Your Story

Invent Characters 🟪 Fantasy characters can be real people, talking animals, fire-belching dragons, or creatures you invent yourself. (Think of a main character and maybe one or two others.)

Express Yourself 🟪 What are your characters’ names? What do they look like? What do they like to do? What adventures have they had? Write about them and find out.

Create a Problem to Solve 🟪 Your main character may be searching for treasure, looking for the way back home, or trying to find the ingredients for a potion. The way your main character solves the big problem is the plot, the main part of your story.
