Narrative Introduction Planning Worksheet
Plan an opening for a narrative, then draft and review it. Use the rainforest walk scenario to help you get started, or invent your own story.
Plan Your Story Opening
1.Imagine Losa and Harrison are walking through a rainforest when they hear a strange tapping sound. Where and when could the opening take place? Describe the setting.
2.Choose Losa, Harrison, or Talia as the main character. Give the character one distinctive quality and one thing they enjoy doing.
3.Select one goal or problem for a story about a rainforest walk.
- Find the trail marker before the group reaches a fork
- Choose what to eat for breakfast next week
- Build a snow fort in the rainforest
- Practise a song for a school concert
4.Which opening approach is most likely to hook a reader straight away?
- Show an unexpected event happening
- List every character's favourite food
- Explain the ending before the story begins
- Describe an ordinary morning with no story details
5.Write two different opening lines for a rainforest story: one that begins with dialogue and one that begins with a question.
Draft and Check
6.Write an introduction of about 3–5 sentences. Introduce a character, establish when and where the story begins, hint at a goal or problem, and give the reader a reason to continue.
7.Read your introduction aloud. Name one detail that works well and one change that could make the opening clearer or more engaging.
