BRAINSTORMING CHARACTERS AND STORYLINE


                  Now that you have a plan for your digital story, it's time for one of the most fun parts
                  i.e., thinking of your characters and story. Brainstorming is when you think of lots
                  of ideas to solve a problem or make something, without worrying if they’re good or
                  bad.


                  BRAINSTORM YOUR CHARACTERS

                  Your characters are the stars of your story. They help make the story interesting
                  and fun. To create the characters for your story you must think of the following
                  questions:

                     Who are your main characters? Think about their personalities.

                      What do they look like? Describe their appearance. Are they big, small, funny,
                      or serious?


                      What do they want? Every character should have a goal or something they
                      desire. This goal will drive your story forward.


                  BRAINSTORM YOUR STORYLINE
                  After deciding on your characters, the next step is to think about what happens in

                  your story and how your characters will be a part of it. To create your story, you
                  must think of the following questions:

                     What's the setting of your story? Is it in the forest, in room, or under the sea?
                      The setting is where your story takes place, and it can shape how your characters
                      interact.

                     What's  the problem or challenge  your characters'  face? Every  good  story

                      needs a problem to solve. This could be something big like saving the world or
                      something small like finding a lost item.

                     How will your characters solve the problem? Think about how your characters
                      will work together to solve the problem.

                     What is the ending of your story? The ending is how everything comes together.
                      Do your characters’ win? Do they learn something new?


                  CREATING AN OUTLINE FOR THE STORY

                  Once you’ve brainstormed your characters and storyline, it’s helpful to sketch out
                  an outline. This can be a simple list or pictures that show what happens in each part
                  of the story.
