This week our grade two's have started to focus on capturing their reader's attention by starting a story with a good opening sentence in place of the traditional "Once upon a time........" or "One day there was a ......"We have been looking at several examples using picture books and sharing which stories captured our imagination and hooked us into the story.
Here are a few examples of story starters that our students used.
"On a stormy night, lightning flashed and the moon was black".
"It was on a stormy night when my brother disappeared."
"Early one morning Ms. Bill woke up and heard the birds chirping".
"It was in the green meadow that the adventure began."
