Entertaining Beginnings
Just like the student that starts off the school year on a positive note by giving the teacher an apple, our writers can also start off their story with a positive note by using entertaining beginnings.
Entertaining Beginnings start with the following:

Action

Dialogue

EXAMPLES of Entertaining Beginnings
Prompt: One sunny day I went to the beach and saw a mermaid.

ACTION:
I dove into the ocean, kicked my feet in the cool water, stood up, and wiped the water from my face. I paused. Something strange near the rocks caught my eye.


DIALOGUE
"What a great day for the beach!" I yelled as I splashed in the waves. Suddenly I stopped. "What in the world is that over by the rocks?"


A SOUND EFFECT
Kerplash! The waves crashed over me as I stood staring at the strange sight out on the jetty.
