Revising Leads

In Writer’s Workshop, students revised the lead to their story.   Students learned that a lead is the beginning or introduction to the story.  A good lead hooks readers from the beginning and makes them excited to continue reading.  The six types of leads students learned about were: action, snapshot (descriptive), sound effect, question, flashback, and talking. 

After I modeled how to revise my lead three different ways, students were to do the same.  Finally they picked their best lead and added it to their rough draft.
