Hello everybody. We have looked at the different ways that we can start stories. We've looked at once upon a time and how it's not really the most exciting way to start our stories. When we're looking at the different ways that we can start our stories, the different story starters, the different ways that we can make them exciting, we have on-it-matter peer, action and dialogue. So today we're looking at how to get rid of once upon a time and how to introduce our story in a new and exciting way. The first option that we're looking at today is on a matter of peer. On a matter of peer is a word that's hard to spell, but it's very easy to describe. On a matter of peer are all of the words that are sounds. We might see on a matter of peer in different settings. When we read comic books, they're the large bang, pop, power, crash. All of the different sounds that we might not be able to hear when we're reading, but we know what sound is made when we're reading it. So today, while we're looking at on a matter peer, I would like everyone in your workbooks to write five different on a matter of peer sounds, five different sound effects with a little drawing around it showcasing the sound effect. If it's a pop, a little pop bubble around it, bang. However, you hear that sound drawn. I want to see that in your workbooks. I'd like you to pause this video right here while you're finishing up your five drawings. Now, hopefully you pause the video and you've just come back after you've done your five drawings. You've got your five options, whether that's bang, pop, cup, power, crash, kabooya, whatever that might be. The fist bump slap. Whatever your five sounds were, now we're going to try and turn them into our own short stories. When we look at the reading books, sometimes the way it starts isn't altogether too exciting. We sit down and we see once upon a time there was a princess and the princess lived in a big castle. Not altogether interesting, but if we're reading our story and it's bang, the cannonball broke through the castle wall. It suddenly makes it a little bit more interesting and we need to look at how we can catch that reader's attention right in the beginning. So, using your five story starters, I want to see the first paragraph of three different stories. One paragraph. Three stories. All together that means you've written three paragraphs altogether. They're not all connected, they're all separate. This is a way for you to practice using your story starters, a way for you to get your ideas out there. To see which ones work and to see which ones don't. In the next lesson, when we're looking at action, we're going to come in and tie one of these stories to the new idea and make it bigger, develop it a little bit. So, in your workbooks, one paragraph on one of your story starters. Then the second paragraph on another one of your onomatopoeous story starters, then a third paragraph on the third one. All taking three different stories. Try and make them as different as you can. The more different they are, the better it is for you. Onomatopoeia, words that are sounds.
