* Try to finish your mystery story, if you haven't. Continue by adding two more full typed pages per homework day until your story is completed satisfactorily. Your final story may end up being five pages long, or it may be fifteen or more. There is no specific length requirement, as long as it is correctly formatted, according to the criteria listed below, and the plot line is satisfying to the reader.
* Proofread your paper! Give it to others to proofread. Make it as perfect as you know how before you turn it in.
CORRECT FORMAT FOR MYSTERY STORY:
+ Create a header that will put your name and the title of your story on the right top corner of each page. Do not skip any lines in this header.
+ Create a footer that will automatically number your pages in the center of the bottom of each page. Do not skip any lines in the footer.
+ Be sure your paper is in a word processing program and that it is double-spaced, with one-inch margins, using 12-point Times New Roman font. Do not have any sections of your paper written any larger or smaller than 12-point font.
+ On the blank line between scenarios, put three dashes, like this: ---
