The state writing predictor test is almost upon us. With that in mind, I happened upon this post at Two Writing Teachers blog. They do what is called "Slice of Life" posts. If you are a writing teacher or you just need some kind words of encouragement, you need to stop by this blog. You can pick up a FREE copy of my PowerPoint on my TpT store that was inspired by that post. Do you have any activities or tools to teach bold beginnings?
