Includes a PP teaching the short story ‘The Storm’ by McKnight Malmar leading to a short piece of suspenseful writing. Designed to be a short unit to help improve creative writing skills.

Three worksheets with questions and links to various short TED talks. I used these with National 4 in the run up to their listening assessment. There is also a generic BGE listening task which I used with various film trailers.

A unit designed designed to strengthen listening and creative writing skills. The class will listen to several episodes of The Magnus Archives (a Rusty Quill podcast) and then write their own supernatural statement. I used this with an able S3 class but have also used the listenings with lower level sets for a bit of fun or when doing spooky writing at Halloween.
