Story Plot - Jagienka's Project

Our book club is a little different than the typical book club. For instance, we do not strictly stick to reading and discussing our novels, but rather we try to do our own creative work as well.
To begin, we went to the scholastic website where you can find topics on creative things to write about. Jagna chose the topic of writing about an airplane that moves to the North Pole. Instead of writing the story, I thought it would be a good idea to teach her about creating an outline to keep the story on track and to sort out exactly what events she would like to occur throughout the tale. This helps with brainstorming characters and their actions that will ultimately affect the events in the story. Here is what she came up with:

Airplane Plot. - Angry because he wrote down an "a" and not an "e" like he wanted --> Moves to the North Pole --> Meets a dragon --> The dragon challenges the airplane to a flying race --> While they were flying they saw a bird, a flying fish, and a hot air balloon who also wanted to race in the sky --> A green pea rolled by who couldn't fly but could jump across trees and clouds and also wanted to race --> The pea fell from a cloud but kept on rolling --> The green pea wins the race!

Afterwards she became bored with this specific plot, so we created a new one.

Main Character: King Sal Tin
Appearance: long, green, straight hair
Traits: nice but unhappy
Problem: he wanted to have curly blue hair
Event: the magic pebble broke

The Blue King – by Jagienka

Once upon a time, there was a King named King Salt Tin. He had long, green, straight hair. He was a nice king, but very unhappy. He was unhappy because he wanted to have curly blue hair.

Luckily he had a magic pebble. But one day when he was playing with the pebble, it fell and broke. So, he picked up a piece of the pebble, and asked for blue hair. Sadly the pebble didn't have much power left, it wasn't as strong as when it was whole. Therefore, instead of turning just his hair blue, his whole body turned blue. He was now a blue king!

Everyone was laughing and laughing at him. He got out the same piece of the pebble and asked "can you make my  hair orange-pink, so it's the same as my friends skin?" in hopes his hair would change along with his skin. But, only his hair changed. It was a disaster. So he asked the pebble again, "please turn my body into the same colour as my hair". The whole world turned this colour, but not the kings body.

The king was so unhappy that he killed himself, leaving the world orange-pink.

THE END.
