Will He Save Her?
Walt: write a narrative that is descriptive (paints a picture in the reader's mind)
Instructions:
This week we are creating a piece of narrative writing about a comic book hero!
You are to use the picture on the right as your story starter or even your story finisher.
Not sure what this means? Well, the picture could depict what is happening in the beginning of your story. You would describe the events from the picture then tell your audience what happens next. Or if you’re using the picture as your story ending, what are the events that led to this action packed scene?
