Well, first you need to have a clear idea. Think about what kind of story you want to tell and who your characters are. Then, start outlining the main events.
One classic Class 1 English story is 'The Three Little Pigs'. It's about three pigs who build different houses to protect themselves from the big bad wolf. The first pig builds a house of straw, the second of sticks, and the third of bricks. The brick house is the sturdiest and saves the pigs in the end.
One common theme is social inequality. For example, in many stories, characters face discrimination based on class, race or gender. This can be seen in 'A Passage to India' where the Indians are treated as second - class citizens by the British.
Well, once in English class, we had a spelling bee competition. The teacher would say a word and we had to spell it correctly. I was really nervous at first. But as the competition went on, I got more and more into it. There were some really tough words like 'accommodation' and 'necessary'. It was a great way to improve our spelling skills and also have some healthy competition in class.
In 'Cinderella', Cinderella is the central character. She is kind, gentle and longs for a better life. The fairy godmother is also a key character as she helps Cinderella. And of course, the prince and the stepmother with her stepsisters play important roles in the story as well.
One great 2 class English story is 'The Tortoise and the Hare'. It's about a hare that is very fast but overconfident. The tortoise is slow but steady. In the end, the tortoise wins the race because the hare is too busy showing off and taking naps. It teaches us that slow and steady can win the race.
Most 3rd class English stories have vivid characters. Such as the cute animals in 'The Little Red Hen'. These characters can easily attract children's attention and help them remember the story better. Also, the plot is not too complicated. It's straightforward enough for kids to follow and understand what is going on from the beginning to the end. This makes it easier for them to retell the story, which is also very important for their English learning.
These stories are great for grammar learning too. You see different sentence structures and verb tenses being used correctly. For instance, in a story that's written in the past tense, you can observe how verbs are conjugated in the past. Also, they improve reading comprehension skills. You have to follow the plot, understand the characters' motives, and make inferences. This all helps in getting better at understanding written English in general.
English class stories can be used as examples. For instance, if the story contains a lot of new vocabulary, we can learn those words. Also, the grammar used in the story can be studied. Just like in a story where past tenses are used a lot, we can focus on how and when to use them correctly.
