WRITING AND READING WORKSHOP

READ THE BEGNING OF
MALALA’S STORY
Every story has a beginning. It is where the writer captures the reader's attention, either
with a great opening line, a detailed description of the character or setting, or a glimpse into
the topic, problem, or theme of the story.

Circle the correct alternative

a) Malala begins her story talking about a friend who had a magical pencil.

b) Malala begins her story talking about a boy in a tv show who had a magical pencil.

c) Malala begins her story talking about a hero in a book who had a magical pencil.

Malala wants a magical pencil to make other people happy. What does she want to do
with it?

Now, think of a great topic or theme to start your own story. It could be a day at school, a toy you
have had or even a dream. Remember, it needs to grab the attention of your reader!
