There’s nothing quite like staring at a blank page. Using these five activities students will apply secrets from master storytellers as they discover techniques to conquer those first line blues. They will learn to -
- Grab the reader’s attention from the very first line and hold onto it.
- Review the first lines of relevant, famous novels and develop their own style.
- Write to inform and entertain. And be ruthless about the editing process.
