95 Quizzes for Enjoyable, Fast and Efficient Revision

English. The fantabulous toolkit you use to speak, read and write. There are a bajillion reasons to master this particular subject (it can improve your speech, help you impress employers and polish your general writing abilities) but we're going to focus on just one.

When you master our English learning course, loads of your other subjects at school will benefit.

To help you get a firm grasp of English, each of our quizzes has a link at the bottom to the relevant BBC Bitesize page.

Throughout your time in KS3, you'll realise that all your subjects require a significant amount of writing, whether it's answering questions in Geography, writing essays in History or explaining the process of photosynthesis in Science. Gosh, you are busy bees aren't you? Luckily, there are two things that can help you write at school.

1. A robot arm

2. A thorough understanding of the English language.

We can't help with the robot arm. At least, not yet. If we make any moves in the technological limb industry, you'll be the first to know. But grasping the English language and using it to articulate your ideas clearly and effectively? We've got you covered!

So what exactly is in this toolkit of KS3 English? A whole lotta English knowledge, that's what! From grammar and speech, to writing techniques and spelling, we've got so much stuff to fill your curious brains.

Don't worry if it seems like a lot to learn, you've got Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9 to master it all.

With a more in-depth understanding of English, you'll be able to express yourself clearly and intelligently in many subjects at school. This is what makes English so important - it's transferrable! But those transferrable skills work both ways. If your English isn't up to scratch, it can have a negative impact on the rest of your subjects too. Gulp.

But hey - we're here to help! We've got lots of quizzes to help you conquer the English syllabus.

Our KS3 English quizzes are crammed full of important knowledge from the National Curriculum and will help you master all kinds of topics like synonyms, verbs, sentence structure, onomatopoeia, nouns, suffixes and more!

English toolkits at the ready, kids. It's time to train the next bunch of Shakespeares.

For an extensive overview of KS3, take a look at our KS3 Explanation page.

Writing your own anime story is an exciting prospect. Moreover, all of your hard work will certainly pay off. In order to accomplish your goal of creating an anime story, you will need to create characters, storyboards, and illustrations. Ultimately, if you can dream it up and are willing to put the time and energy into creating it, you can bring your anime story to life.

Creating the Characters

Create characters. The first thing that you'll want to do is to create your main characters. These characters should have a definitive set of characteristics and should have some backstory. Write a summary of each character. Things you might ask yourself when designing characters include:

What does the character look like?

What is the character's name?

What type of personality does the character have?

Where is the character from?

Does the character have any special powers or abilities?

Is the character a hero or a villain?

What is the nature of the character's relationships with other characters?

For example, you might choose to write a story about a young boy named Charles who has light brown skin, dark brown eyes, and a wiry body. Perhaps Charles is an orphan who is smart, streetwise, and funny. Charles, who lives in a foster home in Boston with his gray cat, Charcoal, is the hero of the story.

Writing the Story

1. Brainstorm an original plot. Write down some ideas for building a storyline. You may want to bounce your ideas off of your friends or family in order to get some suggestions for the storyline if you are feeling stuck. While you're creating your plot, remember that you can find inspiration in the simplest idea. When you are creating the plot you will want to figure out:

What type of story do you want to tell?

How do you want to tell the story?

Where will the story take place?

What is the main conflict?

In this example, we want to tell the story of how Charles and Charcoal find their forever home. We plan to tell the story in a linear fashion and the story will take place in Boston. The main conflict in our story is finding an adopter who works well with Charles.

2. Write your story. Once you have completed the story outline, which is the backbone of your story, you are ready to begin writing the entire story. This is where the details of the story are fully fleshed out and the dialogue is written. You will likely need to write several drafts of your story before you are happy with it.

Putting Together Storyboards

1. Begin the visual layout process. When the text for the storyboards has been completed, start filling in the empty storyboard panels with your illustrations of each scene. Try to show the action you want to depict through these images. Remember that anime images are usually hand drawn.

2. Read through your storyboard for consistency. After you've finished illustrating your panels, read through your storyboard to make sure that the action, dialogue, and illustrations you've created align properly to tell your story. If you find any plot holes or missing dialogue, be sure to edit your storyboard to fill in the gaps.

3. Share your completed storyboard. Your friends and family will make a great audience for your work. Be sure to share your storyboard with them and be proud of your accomplishment.

To create an anime story, start by coming up with the main characters and deciding what you want their goals to be. Write short summaries to flesh out their characteristics and backstories. Then brainstorm the plot, and make sure you come up with something original! When you have your idea, create an outline that nails down the major plot points, then start writing! Draft the text first, then do the illustrations. Once you're done, do a final read-through to make sure it all works. If you want to learn how to structure your storyboards, keep reading the article!

Have you been caught up in anime, and think you could create a better one? Do you have your characters and drawings and are now ready to write the script? Follow these steps to make the perfect script.

1. Make a story plot line. On a piece of paper, start of with a straight line near the bottom of the page, make it incline by a 45 degree angle and when you are near the top of the page, drop drastically with about a 80 degree angle and continue making the line near the bottom of the page. It should look like a straight line with a lopsided mountain that is closer to the right side of the page. Use this to make your story line. This can be one episode or the whole anime. The beginning where the line is straight is the beginning of the story. This is where we get to know the characters and their average life. Try to include as many characters at this point. When the mountain begins, introduce the enemy or the conflict, such as a huge earthquake, or a threat. As you continue moving up the mountain, make the problem bigger and bigger until you are at the climax. This would be the big fight scene, the time when it seems like the world will end, whatever is the worst or biggest part of the anime should be here. Once they solve the problem, you will go down the mountain. Add how they cope after or how things go back to normal. Be sure to add what characters are involved in each scene and at least 5-10 lines about what happens in each part and scene. In the end, when you read through, it should sound like a summary of the whole anime.

2. When writing, don't forget about the characters or the plot. Be sure that what the character says is something the character would say. If a character is a serious person, don't give him any goofy or silly jokes to say. If a girl is shy, give her as little lines as possible unless she changes by the climax.

3. Your script is ready. Type and print out the good copy. If other people would be reading or acting to it, give them the character descriptions too so they get a better idea of the character. They would be able to tell if what they are saying matches up with the character they are supposed to be, so be open to ideas and changes until the end.

Add New Question

How do I make a great anime story?

To make a great anime story you need to see first what stories people are finding interesting. Drawings must look good. Dialogue and character must be interesting and realistic.

Who do I send my script to?

What you should do is publish it on the web on different platforms under your name. You should enter competitions and such to get a more public view on your work. Getting scouted for this is incredibly hard, you need to be patient, and if you want to actually get spotted for a job within the animation industry -- especially in Japan -- you would need to know the Japanese language to a certain point of kanji and such, not to mention the formalities and culture.

What do I need to do in high school if I want to be an anime script writer?

Make sure to take a lot of English and writing classes to hone your writing abilities. Also, if your school has film classes such as film study, take those to learn about different types of shows and movies.
