WRITER’S CHECKLIST GOOD IDEAS! Keep a notebook and pencil handy. Jot down or sketch story ideas when they come to you. Stuck for something to write about? Describe your favorite place to go, thing to do, food to eat, or person to sp end time with. START STRONG! Begin with a strong sentence to grab your reader’s attention. This is called a hook. Hook your readers with a surprising fact, an interesting question, or an unusual description. CHOOSE YOUR WORDS! Choose and use vivid words. Write descriptive phrases. Just-right words help readers connect with your writing. Descriptive phrases help readers see, hear, and feel what you’re describing. KEEP IT LIVELY! When you write, imagine you’re telling the story to a friend. Keep it lively by writing long and short sentences. Write some exclamations! Should you add questions? Yes! Read your writing aloud to “hear” whether or not it’s interesting. FINISH STRONG! Make your ending strong. Summarize or restate your topic. Leave your reader with something interesting to think about. CHECK, PLEASE! Did you check your spelling? Did you check the punctuation? Is there something you could add—or take away—to make your writing more clear? FINISH LINE! Create a beautiful final draft. Add a strong title. Include an illustration, if you like. Share it with confidence!
