Re-creating a story!

Hi All! Hope you are fine!

The idea in this activity is to create a short story (15 lines at least). You must tell it writing simple sentences, using the past and past continuous tenses. 


For doing it, some sentences will be given. You have to include them in your story. The sentences are as follows:

It was 10 pm and I was late for the party. 
I got my car. I drove to the party.
 A dog ran into the road. I saw the dog. 
I tried to stop. I lost control of the car. 
I hit a tree.

Please, undeline the sentences inside your story!


I recommend you to make a sketch. Then, review and check grammar aspects, spelling and punctuation signs, and the rules for writing given in class. Your story must be coherent and creative. Use all of your imagination!

When finishing, add your story as a comment... it will be welcome!
