Organize Writing Banner Lesson

Did you ever read a story without a good beginning, middle and end?

Of course not, so when you write you should have a
beginning, middle, and end. 
It should be written so the reader can clearly follow your story.

Writing is like fishing...

Every good story has a beginning that will catch the readers attention and make them want to continue to read on.

Once you have their attention you need to continue to reel them in.  You do this in the middle of your story with all the exciting details.
