Monday Mornings

I am learning to write an introduction that hooks in my audience. Here are 3 versions. Which Monday Morning introduction do you like best and why?


1.“Leave me alone!” I shouted at my brother as I slowly woke up. It was so early in the morning I could hardly open my eyes! When I finally got up, I nearly drifted back to sleep again when I sat down.


2. I was sleeping very well when suddenly the annoying sound of the alarm clock woke me up. Pretending to get up I slowly touched the ground an pulled myself up.


3. Did you know that I have to wake up approximately 40 Mondays out of 52 just for school. Also kids NEED about 9 -10 hours of sleep. That probably means kids need to go to school at 7 - 8’ o clock.
