Your teacher has just told you to write yet another story.
You have just finished writing the first draft of your story.
Now it is time to edit, to revise your words to make your story clear and compelling, so the reader will continue reading after the first sentence.
Editing your story might feel like an impossible task, but when you have a strategy to use, you can be confident you can edit your own story and improve your writing.
Where do you start?
We will start at the very beginning by working on your orientation.

Congratulations! Your improved orientation will be assessed in the next lesson.
Now, on to Part 2!
