Click on the button above to download a booklet of short fiction extracts to read and explore. All of them have been recently published and you’ll see that I’ve used a mixture of relatively new and more established authors. List below…
- For No Mortal Creature, by Keshe Chow
- Return of the Spider, by James Patterson
- What Have They Done to Liza McLean?, by Amy Doak
- Wednesday: A Novelisation of Season One
- Silvercloak, by L. K. Steven
- Wild Horses, by Jennifer Scoullar
Each of the worksheets is designed to be delivered in a single lesson. The tasks require students to make inferences and define potentially unfamiliar words; I’ve also included a creative writing task at the end. Snips below…
I originally put the booklet together as part of a wider effort to help students explore a range of literary styles with a view preparing them for the creative writing task on the GCSE English Language Paper 1 exam. However, it’d work just as well at KS3 or as work for a cover lesson.
It should be easy to adapt. Hope it’s useful –
