I’ve been teaching a lot of creative writing recently and yesterday my student challenged me to sit and write a story with her: so here it is! It’s suitable for students studying Narrative writing at GCSE or IGCSE level (AQA, CIE / Cambridge, WJEC / Eduqas, CCEA, OCR, Edexcel and more). ** WARNING: The content may be upsetting for some readers as it explores mental health and depression** This is an example response to a GCSE Narrative Writing - A* L9 Full Mark Example.

I’ve added the plan to the description below so you can check whether it’s right for you and/or your students.
