What are some tips to make a good starter sentence in a summary about a book?

Question:Aim Screen Name- asianansatsu

Answers:
I teach my students to use Nancy Boyle's Answer Frame when writing a summary. For example:

This novel is about a main character named _______________________and it takes place in ___________________________. The problem in this tale is ______________________________... One important event that happens as the characters try to solve this problem is ______________________________... A second important event is ______________________________... A third important event is ______________________________... Finally the problem in this fairy tale is solved when ___________________________. At the end of the novel_________________________...


It helps them with organization and allows them to elaborate on three specific events in the novel while still introducing the main character, setting, problem, and how it is resolved.

Good Luck! :-)
Try relating the moral or message of the book to something in real life
umm well first i need to know what the book is about, or what it is. You could make it to where people will want to keep reading good luck
Keep it short and simple.

"Hamlet" is a play by William Shakespeare that depicts the intrigues surrounding the Danish Crown Prince at his court.

"Perfume" is a novel by Patrik Süskind that tells the story of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, whose exceptional sense of smell is just as remarkable as his lack of morals.

See what I mean?
