Hydro Tasmania - Jane Crosswell (NAPLAN Writing Practice)

Students will complete a creative writing task based on factual stimulus material. They are asked to write a short story based on the life of Jane Crosswell, who was a young girl when her family moved to the village of Strathgordon so her father could work at ‘The Hydro’.

Learning goals:

• This lesson is designed to provide valuable practice for NAPLAN*, the national literacy test held in Years 3 and 5. It features a creative writing task that requires students to use their imagination to expand on a nonfiction text.
