Starting Your Story
Who! Where! When! You want to hook the reader in with first paragraph. There are all sorts of way you can draw the reader in. You can use detailed and descriptive writing. You can hint at exciting adventure soon to come. You can write something funny that makes the reader laugh and want to read more. Check out some examples on the next page that show beginning lines from popular books.
In the exposition, you want to make sure you describe your main character(s) and the setting. Write in sentences and paragraph format. It does not have to be perfect - you will edit and revise once the story is done.
Go to your Learning Guide and do Starting Your Story.
