Good Beginnings

Basics Start with an interesting description. Ashes filled the air when I was around the camp fire. Crackle, crackle it went. Start with a sound. Bang! The car doors slammed as we got out of the van.

Start with an exclamation. “Yeah! We’re going to Disneyland tomorrow! Yeah!” I yelled about as loud as I could. Start with a thought. I’m in big trouble now, I thought to myself.

Start with a hint of something interesting to come. It all started on an average day. I didn’t think anything unusual was going to happen, but boy was I wrong!

Start with an interesting conversation. “We’re moving.” That’s what she told me. I couldn’t believe it! I had just made the basketball team and was making more friends. “What!” I exclaimed.

Describe the setting. The deafening crowd was packed into the Kingdome on the sold-out Buhner Buzz-Cut night. Hundreds of people were outfitted in brand new buzz-cuts and were enjoying the Mariner game.

Show feelings. I sat in my desk, sweat dripping down my face. I shut my eyes tight, then opened them. I looked at my watch, 11:27. Three minutes! Three minutes until I heard a sound, a sound that would set me free for three months of total nothingness.

Classwork Choose three different Good Beginnings. Write the beginning of your draft three different ways. Share with a partner. Star the best one.
