- Who are the characters?
- Where does the story take place?
- When does it take place?
- What happened? Include the act of crisis and climax (the point with the most dramatic or important action)
- Why did it happen?
- How was it solved? Include the moral of the story or lesson learnt, if any.
- Should be interesting enough to grab your examiner’s interest
- Should prepare your examiner for what is to follow
- Should be concise and not too lengthy
- Keep your sentences short and simple so that your readers can easily understand you
- Use vocabulary words and phrases, but make sure that they are appropriate. Avoid the use of bombastic words and irrelevant complex expressions.
- Never use a word that you do not thoroughly understand or know how to spell.
The conclusion is the last, but definitely not the least part of a good composition. The resolution, lesson learnt by the character/s or moral ending should be included at your conclusion. Most importantly, do not end your story abruptly.
Most students find composition the most difficult part of the language subjects, and indeed it is. What to write?, how to start?, how to link? are all questions asked by every child. In this module, our teacher will guide your child weekly through one composition. Our teachers do not just explain, and suggest. They will, for each topic, guide your child in gathering the materials for the composition. They will teach your child how to go about starting the composition, linking the story line, and finally apply whatever that is taught, and write the essay out in full together with the child. The child do not get someone that talks superficially on how to write, what to write, but he sees for himself all the guidance translated into a complete A+ essay right before his own eyes.

Choosing a format, square or rectangle
3 is the magic number
- A composition is about variety just “don’t make any two things the same”
- The “Rule of Thirds” can be key to creating balance in landscape painting
- Make sure the shapes, spaces, and gaps between objects are all different.
1. The nature of something’s ingredients or constituents; the way in which a whole or mixture is made up.
2. The action of putting things together; formation or construction.
The rule of thirds
The rule of thirds is very commonplace in photography. It instantly helps to add tension, balance and interest to your photograph but applies equally to the composition in painting. When creating a landscape composition this is what you do:
2. Decide whether to have your horizon on the top third or the bottom third (the bottom third is always easier to balance, it helps to make the sky look vast and imposing).
3. Split the vertical into thirds.
4. Align areas of focus at the intersection between the lines.
5. Marvel at your genius
Your digital camera probably has a viewfinder function built in, often called grid. It again overlays the rule of thirds over your image, just align important compositional elements along these lines or their intersections and voila… instant painting.
Rule of thirds can work very well within a rectangle, however, for landscapes squares can be harder to create a balanced painting even when sticking to the ‘rules’.
