What happens next

Look at the following final sections of narratives. They are all missing the final sentence which the original writers used to create cliffhanger endings.

Re-order each final sentence by dragging the text on the right to match up with the sentence on the left. When you are happy with your choices, submit your response.

'Almost' cliffhanger endings


      Follow on task:

      • Look again at the cliffhanger endings chosen by the original writers and replace them with your own alternative that has a similar impact.
      • Choose one of the narrative ideas and ending (or one of your ‘new’ endings). Plan, structure and write your own creative piece which ends in this way.
