Making a start is often the hardest part of a story! These Story Starter sheets will overcome writer's block and leave children free to let their imaginations go wild. These Creative Writing Story Starters encourage creativity without restricting storytelling possibilities. Each of the 21 sheets in the ebook contains an opening paragraph that will engage children and capture their attention - making them eager to continue the story. The rest of the page is lined so they can easily begin writing 'what happens next'. An extra sheet of lined paper is included for longer stories – and as spare paper for plot planning and characterization. Don't be afraid to re-use the sheets with your students, encouraging them to find a different twist or plot-line each time. This will help them to think more creatively and give them the opportunity to experiment with their writing. Writing a compelling story is something that improves with practice! A number of different writing genres are covered to appeal to all tastes. Example opening paragraph : I charged down the street, my breath stricken with painful gasps. Though the yells behind me were growing fainter, I could still feel panic crawling up my throat. Dusk was falling all about, and the few strangers on the street stared at me with wide, surprised eyes. I threw a glance over my shoulder. No sign of my pursuers. I skidded round a corner, and then came to an abrupt halt. Age Recommendation 12+
