Planning and Plot

Describe the story you plan to write in one sentence. If you can’t say what your drama is about in one sentence, you don’t have a clear enough idea of what you’re trying to do.

Decide what the main character wants more than anything else in life. The story will grow out of this desire.


Write a character description of the protagonist and antagonist ( if there is one) that includes appearance, likes, dislikes, fears, childhood difficulties, occupation, etc.

What groups does the main character belong to ?

The kind of experiences your main character has had in the past will determine how he behaves in the future. What he fears will affect his actions.

Make a timeline for the events of the drama . Try to get it inot six frames

.
Make a map that shows where all the action will take place.

Decide who, where and what happens in the final scene.
