  1. Creative Writing: Unleash your imagination!

  2. Genre • Before you can begin writing your creative short story, you must decide what kind of short story you want to write! • Genre is the type, or classification, of a story. • Many stories could fall into several different genres, but we’re going to just pick one as our guiding light.

  3. Science Fiction • In this genre, you use science as the basis for your fictitious story. • Examples include: The Matrix, Transformers, Terminator, and WALL∙E

  4. Historical Fiction • In this genre, you’re using history as the basis for your short story. • You’re to take historical fact, and add a fictitious element. • Examples include Titanic, 300, Glory, and Braveheart.

  5. Super Hero Adventure • In this genre, a person gains super powers and typically fights for the good of mankind. • Oftentimes, the super hero needs an equally interesting super villain. • Examples include Hancock, Batman, Iron Man, and Spider-Man.

  6. Spy & Espionage Thriller • This genre uses the military and politics as the foundation for the story. • It’s important to stay true to actual military procedures and technology. • Examples include The Bourne Identity, G.I. JOE, James Bond, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

  7. Horror • This genre typically attempts to scare the reader. • It does not necessarily have to be bloody or violent. • Supernatural monsters are sometimes used, or sometimes insane humans. • Examples include Saw, Paranormal Activity, Candyman, and Friday the 13th.

  8. Comedy • This genre tries to make the reader laugh. • Comedies can be subtle, or they can be really silly. • Examples include Beverly Hills Cop, Austin Powers, Anchorman, and Scary Movie.

  9. Fantasy • This genre uses swords and sorcery in the stories. • These tales can take place in outer space, other worlds, or even in our own reality. • Examples include Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Pan’s Labyrinth, and Harry Potter.

  10. Mystery • This genre makes sure to leave clues throughout the story that allows the viewer to potentially figure out the ending. • A true mystery is logical and truly leaves important, real clues. • Examples include Sherlock Holmes, Inception, Seven, and The Green Mile.

  11. Inspirational • This genre utilizes a positive message to uplift the reader’s spirits. • Sometimes that message can be religious in nature, but not always. • Examples include It’s a Wonderful Life, The Chronicles of Narnia, Rocky, and The Blind Side.

  12. Ticket Out The Door • On half a sheet of paper, write down which genre you would most like to use for your short story and why. • Place the TOD on my desk on your way out.
