B WRI TING AN ILLUSTRATED SHORT STOR Y
PICTURES can add life to a story. They help connect the story to our
imagination. Usually, a good story is written first, and then ILLUSTRATIONS
are added. You need to plan all the main parts before you begin:
q Characters q Setting q Plot - main events
q Problem & resolution (resolution: how the problem is solved)
Then decide what event(s) your readers would enjoy seeing in PICTURES.
WARM UP Read the short story.Then draw a picture for the story.
Mary was a tall lady who lived
in a big house near the sea.
She liked to go fishing, and she
worked as a house painter. Mary
did not need a ladder, because
she was so tall. Sometimes
she could not fit through the
doorways of stores and houses
because she was so tall!
SAMPLE
Harry was a short man who
owned a paint store. His friend,
tall Mary, would come by every
day to buy paint for her job.
Sometimes they would laugh
because Mary had to bend down
to get through the front door of
the store.They were best friends.
