Year 6 Writing – Composing a Hook

In Writing, Year 6 students have focused on developing their narrative writing styles, by focusing on composing introductory leads that will hook in their readers. The students have been exposed to a variety of leads including: 

• Dialogue
• Onomatopoeia
• Flashback
• Questions
• Description leads

The students have eagerly shared their writing, inspiring one another. We hope you enjoy some of our work below:

The fires raged as the sky darkened. Stars were strewn across the sky. Buildings crumbled as the war machines fought. The moon came out from beneath the clouds, daring them to go on.
