Teacher: Who can tell me what makes a good story? Will? Will: Well, if it has a great action scene in the very middle of it.
Teacher: A great action scene. Good. Student: A hook that could, like, get you into the book before you
quit it. Teacher: So you have kind of the reader that wants to be sucked into
the story and be aware. Very good. Any other ideas on what makes a good story? Stuart?
Stuart: Make the story kind of make sense. Teacher: The story needs to make sense. Have you ever read a story
that you just read it and you said, “What was that about? I have no idea. It made no sense at all!” You want a story to make sense. Very
good. Do stories have to be true? Class: No.
Teacher: No. What kind of stories can you have? Sarah? Sarah: Fantasy.
Teacher: Huh? Sarah: Fantasy stories.
Teacher: Fantasy stories. Victor? Victor: Fiction.
Teacher: Fiction. Ellie? Ellie: Biography.
Teacher: Biography. Elias? Elias: Um, Greek mythology.
Teacher: Greek mythology. Cameron? Cameron: Maybe a novel?
Teacher: A novel. So, yeah, you have all different kinds of stories, and we want stories to have all their parts and make sense. We want
them to be fun to read. We want to be able to hook our readers, and they need to have all their parts.
