Gr 3-6 Language Arts/Writing: Great Beginnings....Capture your Audience!

The program will introduce your students to different techniques to begin their writing whether it is a narrative or informational writing. The program will identify different ways to begin their writing to create interest for their audience. Students will be introduced to how well known authors begin their writing. Using examples, students will create their own story-start based on the provided examples. This is a very engaging and interactive program, with active student participation.

Program format:
The program will begin by reviewing author’s purposes for writing and why a beginning is so important in any type of writing. Students will be introduced to the different techniques to use to capture their audience. Sample beginnings from well-known authors will be used to further understanding of these techniques. Students will be asked to read beginning paragraphs and identify what method the author used. A short modern fairy tale will be shared and each group of students will be asked to write a new beginning using one of the methods. Students will also use photo images to create a story start of each provided example.
