All students read for 10 minutes.
Students took notes on six different writing strategies that authors use to create engaging beginnings. Then students moved to five different stations throughout the room, read an excerpt from the beginning of a young adult novel and determined which strategies the authors used. We will share our results from the station activity tomorrow.
Homework: Each student was given a handout copy of an excerpt from the beginning of a novel. Students are to read this excerpt and to answer 2 questions: a) What writing strategies did the author use in this piece? b) Was it effective? Explain why or why not.
