WRITING – SIZZLING STARTS

SIZZLING STARTS!!! 

We’ve practised writing them and they were so original and creative!  Last time we used the first strategy from the video – STARTING WITH THE MOMENT OF ACTION!!

Today we are going to write a SIZZLING START using DIALOGUE to start and grip the reader from the very first words!  Remember – 10 seconds to engage your reader.

This is your writing prompt to use:

The school excursion – and annoying Max was the one to find the enormous gold nugget.

Start with speech marks as you say something.  Remember to use them like this:

“It’s not fair!” yelled Rosie.

AND you need to start on a new line EACH TIME you have a new speaker!

Looking forward to what you have to say in your writing books!  😎
