Story Writing

  

We've been exploring storywriting/telling. We've talked about different story elements and today we looked at how good stories begin. We learned that most stories start with a sound, action, thought, or dialogue. We listened to the beginning of a number of books and sorted them based on their interesting beginning.
Students then created their own interesting beginnings that would fit with a variety of characters and settings. Next week we'll begin drafting our own version of a story.
