Story Starters for writing lessons in the classroom. They are all for writing in the third person (ie they all contain the names of other characters, rather than using 'I') Print these out and laminate them back-to-back. Hand them out (or children can 'lucky-dip'). Students can then choose which story starter interests them the most and use that one to begin writing in their exercise book. Collect them in and use them again another time. 8 A4 sheets with 8 story starters on each page (total 64).
