Title and Opening
1. If you have NOT yet done so, post your responses to the POST below... 2. Respond to a classmate! Tell them which opening you like better!
Kate Faxon, I like you're opening "2010, a new year" because that opens up so many different possibilities you can talk about. Also I think a lot of people could relate to 2010 being a new year for them.
I liked Will's "Everyone in school just lied. So bad that we lie to ourselves and don't know it." because it is intriguing and makes me consider the repercussions of lying. Did the narrator have a bad experience being lied to or lying?
Title: Proud to be me Openings: "My day had come!" and "But it was time to race."
I liked Will's opening "Everyone in school just lied." I like it because it makes me want to keep reading to find out what the lie was. Also it sparks the readers interest and gets right to the point, as the opener is supposed to do.
I liked Tims second opening, unlike the first one he chose this openeing did not give away as much as the first one did: I force my way through the crowded hallway.
i liked the second title "my stomach is a knot" better because the story could go in any direction from there. readers will wonder why you were so nervous.

Jake, I like your second opening more because it is a good use of figurative language.
ReplyDeleteI like Austin's starter "I always get caught" because there are so many possibilities of what the vignette could be about and it draws the reader in.
