How to author a spooky story in 4 easy steps?

Halloween is around the corner, and this time I want to author my own spooky story. Below are the steps I will use:

Step 1: Create a Story Map – list your characters, charter traits, decide the setting, create a list of problems that keep getting worse before they start to get better, and finally decide an ending. I am attaching a story map template below (click on it to print/preview full-size)




Step 2: Write your story using the Story Map

Step 3: Get a humongous list of spooky words (for example, you can find a list here and here). Now insert the spooky words all over into your story

Step 4: Last but not the least, have your teacher or a parent proof-read your story

Whoohoo! Now you are the proud author of a spooky story!


Stay tuned for my next post. I will publish my own spooky story using these steps.
