Coming To A Close... |
||||
It is important to bring together all of the elements of your story and let your reader know you are "closing the door" or ending your story. It should give the reader satisfaction that they have "understood" your important moment. Listen to the stories. How did the storyteller bring the story to a close? Think about an interesting way to let your reader know your story has come to an end.

Isabelle Beaton tells daughter Mary about growing up in the Bronx. (:51) |
Written Text of the Make Believe Ballroom Story
Isabelle Beaton tells daughter Mary about growing up in the Bronx Grandma had a routine. On Monday, she did laundry. Tuesday and Wednesday was ironing. Thursday she went to Fordham to pay the bills and Friday was shopping day -- the meat from Frank, the butcher, olive oil - that was delivered. Also, the bleach water for the laundry was delivered. Saturday was cleaning day – dusting, vacuuming, polishing the furniture. And while grandma and I did that together, we listened to the Make Believe Ballroom on the radio. “It’s the Make Believe Ballroom time” (sings). And they would have a countdown of the top 50, so we started cleaning at number 50, and by the time it got to number one, the house was clean.
