This week you will build a plan to help you write your own short story. Using what you have learned from the lesson on the Demon Dentist write a prologue for your own story. Write one or two short paragraphs that tell the reader about the location and time in which the story takes place. 

Think about:

• The genre of the story
• The setting of the story 
• Building suspense and interest
