Adventure Story Writing

Pre-Writing Activity - to help you get started writing a story it is often helpful to spend some time brainstorming before your story starts.



  • Is your main character male or female?

  • How old is your main character?

  • Does he or she have a job?

  • Describe three of his or her personality traits.

  • Describe three of his or her physical attributes.

  • List three things that your character would like to do in his or her free time.

  • List three things that your character is strong/competent at (strengths).

  • List three things that your character has difficulty with (weaknesses).

  • Think of a place where your character might spend a lot of time. This will be the main setting.

  • Think of a problem that your character might face.

Now you are ready to start writing. Make sure that your adventure story has a clear beginning, middle, and end!
