Writing Narrative Leads
Writing an engaging lead is a craft that takes time to develop. To write an effective lead, English Learners need...
to know the purpose of leads and how they set the tone for the rest of the piece.
to become aware of the leads that authors use in their writing. One way to do this is by drawing ELs’ attention to how their favorite authors hook the reader’s attention and create a desire to continue reading the story.
to practice writing them. By trying out different types of leads students can see for themselves what works best for them and their audience.
to receive individualized feedback and learn what they did well and what they need to work on.
to know that revisions make writing better because good writing takes multiple drafts.
to remember that writing is hard but rewarding!
