Example of an adventure story draft by Ms Farah
1. Settings: It was a dark and rainy night. I was leaning against the rail of my boat.
2. Characters: All of a sudden, I saw a dark shadow standing on a deserted island. They were waving, but I couldn't see their face. They look like a dark shadow.
3. Problem: The mysterious shadow looked so far away. They waved faster.
4. Suspense: Suddenly, a huge waved splashed the shore. I panicked because it looked like the wave hit the mysterious shadow hard.
5. Resolution: Once the wave was gone, I was shocked. The mysterious shadow was gone too. To my relief, I did not see a body anywhere on the ocean.
