2. Read the Time Expressions and Connectors of Sequence box (p 70) Then, do exercises 3 and 4.
3. How to begin our narrative: Hook starters

-Go to page 65. How does the writer begin the story? Do you think that beginning "hooks" the reader?
-Task: Write a narrative following the guide on p. 70 (Opening, Body and Closing). Choose one of the following "hook" sentences to begin your writing.
(*In the Padlet you can read an example of a narrative that a student wrote last year)
These are the "hook" sentences you can choose from:

-“One pound and thirty-two pence. Three times I counted it.”

-When ………… moved away, I felt that my world had come to an end.”

-“How long have you kept a secret?”

-“The moment I saw her/him, I knew I would...”

-“We all came to a new country carrying no more than hope and memories of the past.”

-“Once upon a time, there was a woman who discovered she had turned into the wrong person.”

-“He (She) was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad. The day I met him (her), ….”

-“This was the first time I had been given a gift.”

-“Call me Ishmael,...”

-“¡This must be a dream! ¡Not a dream, a nightmare!”
