Literacy: finishing the pirate story

 After reading the beginning of Mystery at Musket Bay we wrote our own endings, about the adventures of the pirate crew when they visited Dead Man's Island.  I wrote an ending which you can see on the boards here.

 I tried to make the characters behave as they did in the printed story, and I added two extra characters.  One was the villain, Pirate Pete, and the other was Redbeard, an old friend of Cap'n Bluebeard.  I tried to create suspense in the story, as though there was a terrible monster in the dark cave.  It turned out to be something harmless.

My story has a happy ending.  I planned the ending before I began to write.  It is very important that you do not make up the story as you go along.
