English Creative Writing Planning

1. Basic Layout EXPLAINED!

   • Setting
     • Who, What, Where, Why, How
     • 5 Senses
   • Problem
     • What's happening.
       • The context explained at this point (rough notes(like a cue card but not)) don't giveaway any main info at this moment.
   • Climax
     • Main plot of the piece explained in detail here loads of notes for the exam is key.
       • Leave quite a bit of suspense between sentences.
         • Long and short sentences will help with the creation of suspense.
   • Resolution
     • Summarise the main events throughout the climax and the problem. Recap the current setting and make sure to include the 5 senses at the end which are different to the setting at the start of the essay.
       • For extra suspense towards the end of the essay, the use of ellipsis would work, but only once because it ruins it if there's more than one.
         • Maybe for extra extra effect leave the essay on a cliff-hanger, to leave the reader on the edge.
