Lesson Plan
Stories can begin in different ways. Four types of story openings include: action, dialogue, description of a character and description of a setting. This document can be used for two activities:
1. Whole class activity: Read the story openings aloud and ask pupils to ‘think-pair-share’ to identify which type of opening it is.
2. Pair/Group work: Distribute the story openings to pairs or groups and allow time for discussion to identify the type of story opening.
