"I woke up that morning feeling really strange. I didn't know exactly what it was ..."

As we have been working on narration, this time you will write a short story. You continue the story using your imagination, but don't forget to include the following:

• 200 words minimum
• Your story needs a structure: Background, Development, Resolution.
• Make a right use of the narrative tenses ( past simple, past continuous, past perfect )
• Use time expressions, connectors and descriptive language ( adjectives, relative clauses)
• Make it interesting to motivate your readers.
• Comment on at least 3 blogs from your classmates.

For language references you can visit word reference site, as usual, and also the following links:
