Here's how to make a story from a news event:
- Pick a good news story from the internet or your local paper
- Find out the basic details involved in the story - remember your 4 W's (Who? What? When? Where? and Why?)
- Think about what might have happened to cause this story - What were the people doing? Why might they have gotten into the situation? What happened before the story, and after it?
- Pretend you're telling your story to a friend and just write down what you would say.
- You might also change the basic facts of the event around to become fiction - for example, if you read a story about a local shop being robbed by a man, you might change it to a jewelry store or a bank instead, and have a gang committing the crime.
