The Limp Handshake
     Zero Eye Contact Intro

• It was a nice day to do something
 outside. I wondered what I could do,
 but couldn’t think of anything around
 the house that seemed fun. I was
 feeling bored and asked my mother
 what I should do. She didn’t have any
 ideas either.
The Never-Ending
         Small Talk Intro
• One bright sunny July day I woke up. I
 got dressed and went down for
 breakfast. Dad had made me waffles
 with syrup and bacon on the side. It
 was delicious. I thought it was a fun
 day to go to the beach, so I asked
 mom. She said fine, so I called Susan,
 but Susan had to go the dentist. So I
 called Kate, and she couldn’t either.
The Stick-to-the-Facts
        Introduction


•This story is about the day that
 I went to the beach and met a
 mermaid. I saw the mermaid
 and went up to her. We
 talked, etc. etc.
The Cliche Introduction

•Once upon a time my mother
 brought me to the beach. We
 parked over near the hot dog
 stand and got out. I walked
 along until I saw something
 weird by the rocks. It was a
 mermaid!
The Tell-All-About-Me
          Introduction

• Hi, my name is Tiffany. I am eight
  years old and I live in Stratford. I have
  brown hair and green eyes. I have a
  dog an two cats who I love a lot. I am
  in third grade. I love the beach, which
  is why I am going to tell you about my
  adventure there last summer.
