ORGANIZATION
Beginning, Middle, and Ending
Bold Beginnings
Use a Single Word... and then give more information. Pickles, Pickles, Pickles. They were everywhere.
Share an Interesting Fact... and then tell more about it. The bumblebee bat is the smallest mammal on earth.
Capture a Moment... and then elaborate. We were right at the top of the rickety, old roller coaster and then started down the hill.
Describe a Sound... and then tell where it came from. Snap, Crackle, Crunch. There was a strange sound coming from the forest.
Ask a Question... and then provide the answer. Have you ever wondered how many dogs you can walk at the same time.
Add a Simile or a Metaphor. The snow was like a blanket.
Mighty Middles
Adding Information- in addition, for example, besides
Comparing and Contrasting- however, but, on the other hand
Showing Location- above, under, beside, in front of
Concluding- finally, to conclude, as a result.
Exciting Endings
Surprise the Audience- When I opened the door, there was Grandma in purple pajamas.
Ask a Question- "Who did this?" cried my mom.
Share a Laugh- Having two left sneakers is better than going barefoot.
Hint about the Future- I knew someday my parents would find out.
Bring it Together- That was a day we'll never forget!
