Choose a topic and write a story about it in two to three paragraphs. Focus on developing a specific mood and tone in your story. For example, you might write about a family holiday, a trip you took, or an event in your neighborhood. Here are a few directions to keep in mind:

Because your story is just a few paragraphs, you might want to maintain the same mood throughout rather than changing it midway.
Think about the emotions the story should evoke in your readers and choose descriptive words accordingly.
To set the tone, decide what attitude you want to adopt toward the subject. Remember there are positive and negative tones. Use them to suit your story.
