Marko’s Writing Tools

Organization Create a prewriting list of events in chronological order (the order in which events happened). Include a clear beginning in which you identify the characters, setting, and main idea of the story. Provide details of the story in the middle. Offer a conclusion to the narrative in the end.

Simile & Metaphor Simile – a comparison (of two unlike things) using like or as. Metaphor – comparison (of two unlike things) without using like or as.

Onomatopoeia Use of a word indicating a sound

Repetition of a beginning sound Alliteration

Lasting Impression Include an ending that leaves your reader satisfied. Reflect on what has happened to you. Suggest something for the reader to think about or do. End with a creative description. Repeat your main point. Give a “so what”. Why is this story/essay important?
