Introduction Where When Who Let me wow you!!!!!

Wow the ladies With a Winning Beginning Grab your readers and draw them into your story Action Dialogue between two people Sound Effect - Onomatopoeia Describe the scenery Thoughts – Internal dialogue Simile / Metaphor

Juicy Jots for beginnings This day was no ordinary day. It was an extraordinarily beautiful summer day. The warm wind was whipping at my face as I cruised along in my cousin’s new convertible. My entire family and I were on our way to the Great Wolf Lodge. Excitement made my stomach churn like the wheels of a steam engine.

Juicy Jots for beginnings Beep! Beep! Beep! That was the annoying sound of my alarm clock going off at 5 am in the morning. I wearily hit the snooze button and rolled over to get some more sleep. Then suddenly, I shot out of bed like a bolt of lightning. “Wake up!” I yelled. “No time for sleeping. It’s my birthday and we are going to celebrate at my favorite place – The Main Event!”

Juicy Jots for Beautiful Beginnings “Wake up! wake up ! I yelled at my brother. “Why?” He sleepily mumbled. “We are going fishing.” I replied as I hurriedly jumped into my clothes. I got ready so fast the wind ran out of breath trying to catch up with me. Marcus was still in bed when I left. Soon I could smell the fresh air of Tawakeny Lake.

Body of Story Show don’t tell Three paragraphs in the body Each paragraph should show not just tell What did you do? Let me show you!!!

Main Event Your Main Event should sparkle. Get to the main event quickly and elaborate by exploding the moment. Make an ordinary event such as baking a cake, or a roller coaster ride sound like an amazing experience Explode the Moment

Great Ending Reflection Use a quote Feelings / Future Plans Mixed emotions Best time ever Wrap it up Mention prompt Taste of Chocolate

Last, but not least use C.U.P.S.

CAPITALIZE

Use Proper Grammar

Punctuation Marks

Spelling and Sentence Structure Good Luck!!
