What's Your Journey? (Narrative Writing NAPLAN)
Lesson7 of 8 in this unit
SecondaryYear 9 - 10EnglishCreative writing
Lesson Summary
In this lesson, students will complete activities to develop narrative writing skills. Students will watch a short clip about a World Traveller and share the journeys they have been on in their lives. Students will plan their own ‘journey’ story using the Hero’s Journey writing frame. They will then draft a narrative and apply the ‘show, don’t tell’ principle. They will work with a peer to reflect on whether they have applied the ‘show, don’t tell’ principle, then reflect individually on their approach to the narrative writing task. This lesson is designed to provide valuable practice for NAPLAN, the national literacy test held in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9*.
