Background Information:
Anybody is capable of writing his/her own masterpiece of short story. By tapping your
own experiences or getting idea from the content of your readings, then putting pen to paper,
you can create and engage an interesting story.
Short story is a fully developed theme but significantly shorter and less elaborate than
a novel. Because of the shorter length, a short story usually focuses on one plot, one main
character (with a few additional minor characters), and one central theme. You can write
stories which are either Fiction or Nonfiction.
Fiction refers to plot, settings, and characters created from the imagination. It is a
make-believe or made-up story. It can have unrealistic scenes like fire breathing dragons,
flying people, talking animals or objects. It must be written in order like it has beginning,
middle and end. The fiction materials can be in the form of novel, fairy tale, comic book, and
fable. We read or watch these materials for fun or to entertain us.
Example 2: A cartoon
on television
Non-Fiction refers to factual stories that are based on real people, scientific ideas,
and true events. Non-fiction books have photos with captions or graphs, and they give us
information with so many different things. The non-fiction materials can also be in the form of
encyclopedias, dictionaries, letters and journals, speeches, essays, news articles,
autobiographies, and biographies. We read or watch these materials for information.
Example 1: Example 2:
A Science A Documentary
book on YouTube

Both the Science book & Documentary video clip are likely to have facts and true
information, and therefore considered as non-fiction.
Elements of a Story
4. Conflict/Problem - The
characters in the story need to
deal with the problem. Like for
example, a prince must fight
with a fire breathing dragon.
The problem is the most important thing that
happens in a story. It makes the story exciting.

In writing your own short story, make sure you follow these elements because these
make the story interesting and exciting. The elements should also have to work with each
other in an organized way to make it readable and appreciated by the readers.

same routine.

One day he woke up and didn’t feel so well.
Dr. Jerome did some blood work on Mr. Matters. He found out

vegetables. In addition, he wanted Mr. Matters to exercise three
