This perfect writing starter activity gets students to use more-ambitious techniques to hook their reader’s attention by using evocative images and writing prompts.
This is part of a bigger resource of Ten writing starters for Paper 1, Question 5. Students are given a series of pictures as a stimulus (some of the photography is taken by me!) and a success criteria for each picture. This will help guide their writing and create more imaginative openings using ambitious writing techniques to impress an examiner!
You can buy the full resource at Miss Cole’s Shop.
