We had to comment on our partners narrative about bad things that need to be changed from what they currently were.

Writing: Narrative Hook

L.I: to plan a narrative.

This week for writing, we had to write our hook for our narrative we are writing. A hook is a few sentences that draws attention to the reader, to interest them into reading the rest of the story.

Our hook needed to still relate to the story though, so that it doesn't make the reader interested by a hook with a different topic to the actual story.

My Hook:

BOOM!! Jack’s body exploded by the toxic slime. Jill and Bailey both started to shoot, as Jill’s bullets sling through the slime that reconnects together each time. Jill knows what she needs to do…

We needed to attribute the images by who took / made the photo, and the licence a.k.a what you can do with the image.
