This week in writing, we will be focusing on openers again. Your talk homework is to discuss how these sentences could be reworded so that the opener is at the beginning.
Remember we can use setting, times, -ly words, similes, -ing words and -ed words.
E.g.
Jack scurried down the beanstalk as quick as lightning.
Could become…
As quick as lightning, Jack scurried down the beanstalk.
Can you think of ways to change these sentences:
- Jack’s mother angrily threw the beans out of the window.
- A magical castle sat at the top of the beanstalk.
- Jack crept into the castle nervously.
- Jack ran down the beanstalk after he saw the giant.
Can you discuss any other sentences which have interesting openers, either relating to Jack and the Beanstalk or another story?
