Planning
Your Writing
Kelli
Plasket is a reporter at TIME for Kids.
Question:How do you get story ideas?
Answer:I read newspapers, news sites and watch TV news daily. I look
for stories or topics that would interest kids. I also
talk to the people I meet about what's on their minds and what interests them. You
never know where you will find a good story!
Suzanne
Zimbler is a senior editor at TIME for Kids.
Question: How do you plan and organise a story?
Answer: Once I've learned everything that can be a topic, I decide what
information is most important to include. I break
down that information into different sections. Then I
consider what order those sections should appear in. What do
the readers need to know first in order to understand the rest of the story? How
will I connect one section to the next? Sometimes, once I've drafted the story,
I'll realise that another order works better than my original plan. That's
OK. You
can always switch paragraphs around and see how they read in a different order. It's
part of the revision process.
Andrea
Delbanco is a senior editor at TIME for Kids.
Question: How do you complete your writing assignments on time?
Answer: I love working with a deadline! I have a much easier time
getting organised when I know that my time to work on an assignment is limited. First,
I make a mental map of all of the stages: doing research, taking notes, writing
a draft and revising. Then,
I make a timeline of how long I think I will need to complete each part. I
always hope to finish with enough time to take a break and then look at my
writing with fresh eyes.
