This pack introduces children to using descriptive openers to make their stories more engaging. The teaching PowerPoint explains what a story opener is, models examples that begin with where or when, and shows how to make sentences more exciting. Pupils are guided through practical examples, such as “In a faraway land…” or “One dark and gloomy afternoon…”, before practising with their own ideas. The accompanying activity sheets include cut-and-match cards, rewriting tasks and sentence prompts to help children apply what they have learned. This resource supports young learners in writing imaginative story beginnings with confidence and variety.
