This lesson teaches you how to write a short story about something surprising that happened to you.
It tells you to include:
- When it happened (like "last week").
- Where it happened (like "at home").
- What you were doing before the surprising thing (using words like "had decided" and "was waiting").
- Exactly what happened (using simple past tense and maybe what someone said).
- How you felt (like "I was scared").
- Words to connect your sentences so the story makes sense (like "at first," "but then," "so").
