Stuck for a story?
Go wild thinking up the start of a story! Give yourself five minutes to think up the beginning of a plot from the pictures above (one plot per picture)!
If that was fun, then try this too: STORY STARTERS!

Once upon a time...
Once you have created the characters of your story (you have defined their appearances, personalities and abilities), determined the setting (where and when the plot will unfold), decided on the theme (i.e. message), you will need to write the plot (the actual story)!
To help you think up the plot, imagine a problem that comes from "outside" (beyond the control of the characters, such as a natural disaster or an invasion) or from "within" (someone has done something they should not have done). How will the characters react and solve the problem? Will they have to go on a journey for example? The solution to the problem will bring out the moral message...
And the moral of the story is...
The moral of a story refers to the message that is put across or a lesson that is to be learned from the story in the end. The moral may be left to the reader, viewer or hearer to decide for themselves, or may be openly summarized in an adage/proverb.
It could be about courage (overcoming fear), trust, generosity, friendship, loyalty, honesty, being truthful, (self) respect, etc.
