Developing the Hints

This outline has been elaborated in the form of sentence for their learning purpose during test or examination. So, the exercise on “Writing Stories from Outline” prepares the learners to develop their skill in elaborating gists or points into sentences and paragraphs.

What is a Story?

Before analyzing “How to write stories from the given outline”, it would be better to know what a story is and what composes a story.

A story is a work of fiction or imagination that is usually written in easily understandable grammatical structure with natural flow of speech. A story is meant to be read at a single sitting and therefore it should be direct and brief as possible.

For developing the hints given, there is no need to cook the story as the outline of the story is provided to the learners. It is a piece of composition which implies the techniques of narration.
