All of the above are also found on Amazon Prime Video in The Storyteller series.  BUT remember that your ending is connected to the TEXT version of the story.

After choosing your story- read the text version carefully, choosing a moment that you can change that would ultimately result in a different resolution.  It can be the climax or right before the climax.  We have discussed the climax on most of the stories above; however, you and I can talk if you feel unsure.

Watch this video if you need some direction what I mean when I say “new ending”-

You must stay true to the story.  What does that mean?

It means that you must continue with the same characters, with the same setting, with the same character traits….

1. You must have Dialogue- link below takes you to dialogue punctuation rules:

or

• You must begin your story with a line from the text version- then continue with your ending.
• It must be between 300-500 words (usually 1 ½-3 pages)
• It must be in MLA format- see link for those rules-
