Writing Homework Help

Part 1:You will begin your course project by taking the first steps to creating your short story that will be due in Module 04. You will plan the details of your story by beginning with a simple outline. When you outline your story, you will create the basic structure of your story idea, but you will also include details about specific elements. This is where you plan who, what, when and where it all takes place. You will not only decide who is in the story, but you will need to decide where it will begin and how it will end. The more details you add to the outline, the more you will be able to utilize it as you stitch together your completed short story.

Use the 11 elements in the bullet points below to write your outline, and include at least one or two sentences of detail for each.

• Title
