To write a love story

Follow the same pattern as in the guidelines, but divide the class into groups (up to 10).  Each group/pair deals with one or two parts of the story.

 

The parts

1. The meeting : who? where?

Decide on the characters   – physical description

 

2. Love strikes both at the same time? At different times?

More description including qualities/ jobs/ where they come from/ hobbies

 

3. Love grows (Both in love now)

Dialogue- I love you, I will never leave you etc

 

4. Love overcomes the difficulties* in its path (events? location?)

Exams, homework, moving house, from different cultures

 

5. Love overcomes its enemies : people * – hostile relatives/jealous rivals

Parents / friends against the match because age , exams, class culture

 

6. Love wins : all seems well, but…

Spend some time together, a festival, a school trip

 

7. Love is hurt by the difficulties : * same as above or different

More or the same problems arise again

 

8. Love is hurt by its enemies : *  same as above or different

People interfere

 

9. Love is lost

One of them loses his/her love

 

10. Love separates with / without bitterness

They go their separate ways
