Sizzling Starts
Week 1 - We are focusing on writing a recount of our holidays and using a sizzling start.
Start with the most exciting moment of the holiday - action time! No "On the holidays..." starts please.
Start with dialogue to get your reader interested.
Use speech marks and remember, said is DEAD!
We are learning about past tense in our writing.
When we write a recount, we are remembering what has already happened - in the past - not something that is happening now or in the future. We need to make sure we use the past tense all throughout our recounts and not muddle up the future into it!
