Narrative Starters

Sometimes it's difficult to start writing a story. We get a 'brain block' and stare at the blank sheet of paper while time ticks on.  This can happen to all of us.  So, this week, we have been learning about different ways to start our story writing with 'great beginning strategies'.  These are:

  • Action and dialogue
  • Ask a question
  • Describe the setting
  • Begin with background information
  • Have the main character introduce himself or herself
We had a go at using each starter strategy with the same photo prompt.  Here are our 'action and dialogue' starters.  


Now that we have a few story starters to consider when beginning our story writing, we hope to not be faced with that problematic blank piece of paper again.
