Inspired by the embarrassing situation Byron finds himself in during chapter 1 of Christopher Paul Curtis's The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1963, students will think of their own embarrassing moments they might write about. Using the handout from this on-line lesson (which shows seven different ways to start a story), students will write seven possible leads for Byron's story. Then they will brainstorm seven leads for their own embarrassing stories, writing all seven on a decorated page in their writer's notebooks. Teachers can encourage students to choose their favorite lead and write the entire story for their writing portfolio. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.W.3, W.11-12.3a Narratives
