Attention-grabbing story starters
Students rank order a number of opening sentences or paragraphs from a range of short stories depending on how 'attention grabbing' they are, and then write their own opening to a story.
This is a simple but effective approach to teach KS3-4 students about the importance of starting fiction writing with an effective beginning.
