Using Word Clues
in Writing
The students have been working on developing their ability to use suspense in their writing as a way to keep the reader's interest. There are a few strategies such as raising story questions, the magic-of-three, and using word clues. I hope you will be able to see how each student gave clues about their animal by mentioning certain characteristics that allowed you, the reader, to predict the animal beforehand. Although at times, suspenseful writing will keep you guessing until the last possible moment. Enjoy! 
Please click on the following names to read each students' paragraphs describing their animal. Hopefully, a hint of suspense will be developed as you try to guess what animal they are describing. After taking a guess, click to see the drawing of their animal.

Thank you for visiting and we all hope you enjoy the paragraphs.
