Writing
Prewriting
• A tall tale is an entertaining
story with made-up or
exaggerated characters. It
uses humor and
exaggeration to tell a story
that the author often claims
is true. The main character
is a larger-than-life hero or
heroine, sometimes with
superhuman abilities, who
needs to solve a problem.
The plot is funny and
impossible and includes a
lot of action,.
day 1
Writing
Prewriting
• Brainstorm ideas about
possible characters for a tall
tale.
• Will there be a character
with great physical strength,
like John Henry?
• Brainstorm possible plots
that involve humans against
a machine, such as
someone trying to outrun a
train or swim faster than a
ship.
• Write your ideas in your
Writer’s Notebook.
