Presentation transcript:

The “Hook Challenge” (Introduction) Check your “hook” and add one of the following to your introduction 1. Dialogue “ Hurry or you’ll be late!” called my mother from the bottom of the stairs. “Today of all days you want to be on time.” If I had only know what that day would bring, I would have stayed in bed. 2. A Vivid Description The sun was warm on my back as I raced toward the waiting yellow school bus. As I nestled into the worn leather seat I was greeted by the friendly voices of other excited children. The look on my face was one of confidence and contentment. With a jerk the bus rumbled down the road and I was on my way into one of the worst days of my life. 3. An Onomatopoeia “Buzzzzzz!” The sound of my alarm clock droned in my ears as I struggled to come awake. With a start I sat straight up in my bed. This was my big day and I had to be on time.

The Conclusion Challenge Write a conclusion that ends your story. Tell the reader why this experience was important to you and what you learned from it. Refer back to the prompt. This should be the only time that you have referred to the prompt.

Ba-Da-Bing Challenge 1. Look at your sentence. 2. Write one ba-da-bing sentence for that moment, with these three parts :

Dialogue Challenge o Look at your sentence. o Imagine all of the conversation that went on at that moment. o Write down everything everyone said.

Senses Challenge  Look at your sentence.  Write details to show every one of the senses: What did you see? What did you hear? What did you smell? What did you feel? What did you taste?

Thoughtshot Challenge  Look at your sentence.  Imagine that people could hear everything you were thinking at that moment.  Write down everything that went through your head, and everything you thought right then.

Snapshot Challenge  Look at your sentence.  Imagine that you’re looking at a photograph (or snapshot) taken at that moment.  Use words to describe everything you can see in the snapshot.

Figurative Language Challenge Look at your sentence. Simile comparison of two different things using the words "like" or "as." I was so tired; I slept like a baby. Metaphor comparison of two different things that does not use "like" or "as." My life is a roller coaster. Personification — giving human qualities to an inanimate object I was so scared because the wind cried in the dark. Alliteration - beginning several words with the same consonant sound I love living life to the fullest Hyperbole exaggeration I studied for a million hours and still didn't pass the test! Onomatopoeia words that sound that the sound they represent BAM, buzz, hiss, BANG Repetition—repeating a word or phrase for emphasis No one ever listens; no one ever tries; no one really care; no one is willing to help
