Let’s think about how to write a story about a strange dream.
First, we need to answer the questions in the bubbles to help us build our story:
1.
When? – Maybe last night, or last weekend, or during nap time at school.
2.
What was it about? – Was it flying? Talking animals? A world made of candy? Pick something weird and fun!
3.
What happened? – Use “First… Then… Next… Finally…” to tell the story step by step.
4.
Feeling? – Were you scared? Happy? Confused? Excited?
Now let’s make up a simple example together (you can change it to your own idea!):
---
When?
Last Tuesday night.
What was it about?
I dreamed I was a tiny mouse living inside a giant cheese wheel.
What happened?
First, I woke up in a hole in the cheese and saw other mice having a party.
Then, a cat came and tried to eat the whole cheese wheel — including me!
Next, I rode a cracker like a surfboard to escape.
Finally, I landed safely on a plate of cookies and woke up.
Feeling?
At first I was scared, but then I felt brave and happy.
---
Now you can use this plan to write your own paragraph below the lines. Just follow the order: When → What it was about → What happened (use First/Then/Next/Finally) → How you felt.
You’ve got this! Dreams are supposed to be wild — so have fun with it!
Final Answer:
Write a short paragraph using the planning bubbles above. Example:
*Last Tuesday night, I had a strange dream. I was a tiny mouse living inside a giant cheese wheel. First, I woke up in a hole and saw other mice having a party. Then, a cat came and tried to eat the whole cheese — including me! Next, I rode a cracker like a surfboard to escape. Finally, I landed safely on a plate of cookies and woke up. At first I was scared, but then I felt brave and happy.*
