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…
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 –
