Higher FolioSetting* Choose a setting you are familiar with and know a decent amount about.* Brainstorm the senses for that setting.* Push yourself to vary your vocabulary and use more sophisticated word choice. Use a thesaurus if necessary!* Vary your openers.* Use imagery to describe the setting.* Use different lengths of sentence.* Keep referring to setting throughout - don’t just do one paragraph at the start and forget about it.Character* Brainstorm different aspects of your character before writing - think about personality, background, relationships with other and maybe a bit of physical appearance.* Try not to just list things about your character - have your character doing something and reveal details slowly.* Have one main character who you explore in depth. Your word limit won’t allow youto cover several characters in depth.* Put the character in a situation which creates some kind of conflict.Narration* Choose a narrative style that suits the story you are going to tell. E.g. If it’s an in-depthlook into a character’s psychological state, you would be best to use 1st person.* Stick to that narrative style throughout. Don’t change tense or perspective unless you stylistically mean to.Plot* Don’t have your story taking place over a long period of time - 5 minutes to a day is the preferred timeframe.* Ensure the story has a clear conflict - the conflict should be something which bringsout the true character of the protagonist.* Don’t try to include too much in your story. Keep the plot simple and a clear line ofthought throughout - one conflict to be resolved. This lets you focus on addingdescription to your writing.* Write about what you know - don’t write a story about war in Afghanistan if you don’t know what it’s like.* Try to have a clear theme in your story.Creative/Personal planTitle:…………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..Character: ……………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….Setting: ………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Plot: ……………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Anything else (reflection/imagery etc): ……………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..Higher: Writing FolioPersuasive PlanName …………………………………………………………………………………..What is your Topic?
