hello my friends my name is justin and i am an author uh no you won't be able to find any of
my stories and libraries or bookstores because they they haven't been published in books yet uh
but still i wrote them they're my stories and that makes me an author and guess what you're an author
too together we learned how to write one sentence and two sentence stories so guess what's next
now my fellow authors i will be teaching you how to write a three sentence story
by now you know that every story has three story elements who where and what happened
but you know what else all good stories have they have three parts a beginning a middle and an end
that seems like a lot of stuff to remember just for one story but
it's really not that much every story that you've read has a who a where and what happened
and they've also had a beginning middle and an end take a look at this drawing of my friend rory rory
really likes sandwiches as a matter of fact this sandwich is one that he made in his kitchen
if i want to write a story about this picture i can begin with a sentence that tells who and where
rory went to the kitchen then my second sentence could tell what happened he made a sandwich
so really those two sentences give me a beginning and a middle but what
about an end what do you think happened next that's right he ate the sandwich
when i write my story it goes like this i write my first sentence rory went to the kitchen
that's the beginning of my story now before i go on we need to check and make sure i remembered a
few things did i begin my sentence with a capital letter yes did i space between my words yes did i
put a period at the end of my sentence oh looks like i forgot the periods let's just fix that
phew glad i checked my next sentence tells what happened in the middle of my story
he made a sandwich okay capital letter at the beginning check space between words check period
at the end check oh and did you notice that when i ran out of room on the first line i just went down
to the next line and started at the beginning we're getting pretty good at the story writing
now comes the best part i can add one more sentence to tell how this story ends then he ate
it as you can see i remember in my capital letter spaces in period and once again when i ran out
of room i went down to the beginning of the next line and now my three sentence story is complete
making stories is so much fun you know i don't always tell stories about things that actually
happened sometimes i come up with my own creative ideas let's write our own creative story together
okay so first we'll need a character what about an alligator i'll call him alex all right now
next up where could an alligator named alex go in our completely made up creative story
how about a party let's make it a birthday party all right and now what happened um
alex got a balloon a yellow balloon because that's alex's favorite color of course
all right now all we need is our third sentence our ending what happened next hmm you know
not every story ends with the next thing that happened sometimes they end with a feeling
so how do you think alex felt when he got a balloon that was his favorite color
yeah me too i think he was happy
okay so here's what our creative story looks like when we write the sentences the first sentence
says alex the alligator went to a birthday party that's the beginning of my story and it tells who
and where that was a long sentence did you notice that i already ran out of room and had to go
down to the next line okay my next sentence tells what happened and it looks like this
he got a yellow balloon notice that i made a space after the period of my first sentence and then i
started my second sentence and when i ran out of room i just moved to the next line and now
we come to the third sentence the big finish what happened at the end of the story we decided
to end with a feeling so here it is alex was happy yeah i like the way that story ended
my fellow authors you too can now write a three sentence story just by writing a who aware a what
happened and what happened next and that can be either a new thing that happened or a feeling
and remember when you're writing your sentences to use your sentence
skills like capital letters spaces between words periods at the end of sentences and
if you ever run out of space on a line you know what to do and finally whether you're writing
about something real or your own made-up creative story remember to always be clever
