In groups of three or four discuss the following questions and make a list of the features that make a good story.

1. How important is the plot / the story itself?
2. Is it important that the story should be real or truthful?
3. How important is the title?
4. What language or stylistic devices should be used to make the story more interesting?

A good story should have:

• an interesting plot — the story itself is very important;
• a clear and logical structure — beginning, development and ending;
• realistic or believable details — the story does not have to be true, but it should sound truthful;
• a good title — it should attract the reader’s attention and match the story;
• vivid language — adjectives, adverbs, comparisons, direct speech and descriptive words;
• interesting stylistic devices — for example, suspense, humour, dialogue and emotional words.
