Create an Illustrated Story - …
Word BasicsCreate an Illustrated StoryPeople write successful books and stories about all kinds of interesting objects, things and people, but the core elements of storytelling are still key. The most successful books have an external plot, an internal plot, and a relatable character. With?Where the Wild Things Are, the external plot is Max getting in trouble and going to visit the wild things, being part of the rumpus, and coming home. The internal plot is how he feels, the emotional changes that he experiences through that journey. Do a Google search for this story to see what we mean. it comes to constructing your own internal and external stories, It is good advice that writers can start at pretty much any point and fill in the blanks. There are two sorts of writers. Some prefer to start and say, ‘here are my plot points, this is what I want to get across emotionally, and now I’m going to put this together with a story.’Then, other writers say, ‘this is my story, and now that I have a first draft, let me check for plot, emotional connections, and how I can enhance everything.’ It works both ways. Just at some point, writers have to think about all of these things if they want a successful story.Instructions for writing your story:After creating your own Donald Duck cartoon graphic with Microsoft Paint, save it to your OneDrive FWISD folder so it can be used for this next project.Open a new Word document and use Save As to name the document, Donald’s Story…you can change the Title on your story later after it is written, to better reflect the story.On the first line of the document, click on the Center Align button in the Home Ribbon, and enter the words, Donald’s Story… or your own choice of story title.Drag to highlight this title and select Title Style in the Home Ribbon, Styles grouping.While still highlighted select the Arial font, and 24 point font size for the title.Press the Enter key.As the cursor blinks on the first line of your story, select and left click on the Normal Style button.Change the font to Arial, and the font size to 14 for the story.
