STEP 2: Now it will be time to write down the draft of your story, in it you have to include everything you want to be in the book: The final story you would like to include in your book.  

Remember good tips for your story:

• In some way you have to describe the characters.
• You are telling a story, so it would be great to use the past tense.
• Grammar tips: CB page 155 and 156
• Include some dialogues between the characters.
• You need a starting point, the body of the story and an ending.

Whenever you think it is ready, let your teacher check it. 

STEP 3: For this task we are going to use a new web tool which is Storybird. This is a really great tool to create your story books.  

Here you are an amazing tutorial about the tool. We strongly recommend you to have a look before you start working.
