Have you ever lost yourself in a great novel? One of those stories that hooks you from the start, makes you empathise with the characters and keeps you on the edge of your seat, before wrapping everything up in the most satisfying way?
Imagine you’re at your desk reading through all of your students’ writing assignments and each one captivates you. They don’t start with ‘Once upon a time’ and end with ‘and then I woke up!’ How much more enjoyable would that task be?
The students featured below certainly know how to hook their reader. Using the Seven Steps techniques has helped them to Ban the Boring and make their stories engaging from beginning to end.
Check out these awesome narrative student writing samples that were entered into the 2020 Seven Steps Narrative Writing Competition.
