The story behind a masterpiece
1
 In pairs, write a short story to accompany your favorite painting in your school
newspaper. The Writing Guide and your imagination will help you.
WRITING GUIDE
STEP ONE
  • Think about what you want to include in your story (e.g. information about the people in the
    painting such as their name, age and family situation, where they are, what they are doing,
    their feelings, background events, what is going to happen next etc).. Your Word Bank can
    help you with ideas.
  • Think about the tone of your story. Is you story going to be sad, humorous, etc.?
  • Decide who is going to be the narrator. You can write your story in the first or in the third
    person.
  • Write your first draft.
STEP TWO
  • When you finish, exchange drafts with another pair.
  • Look at the painting your friends are writing about, read their story and make comments to
    help them make it more interesting and vivid. What else do you want to know about the
    people in the painting and / or the events in the story?
  • Help each other with language if necessary.
STEP THREE
  • Write your second draft.
  • If possible, scan the paintings, enlarge them and make coloured photocopies.
  • Put your work on display.
