Writing Excellent Short Stories

How do you craft a captivating and pivotal climax to your story?

After you have developed characters, you have worked on the story line or the plot.

Something has to happen to cause a problem. Then the problem has to be solved and quickly because this is a short story.

The solution or climax of the story should be clever, with the reader being surprised by what is happening.

Students can make up a few different endings and then decide which one is the most interesting.

Read your short stories to each other and get different opinions about which ending is the best.
