Conventions of Narrative Writing

Using an extract from ‘The Woman in Black’ this two-part lesson intends to prepare students for a comprehension exam. Originally delivered to a Year 7 group (but can easily be adapted to other years, depending on ability), this lesson encourages students to ‘actively read’ a text, working to identify features of narrative writing. There are two comprehension activities: the first can be done as a class to help students feel at ease with tackling such style questions; the second is intended for exam conditions to allow students to practice for their reading exam. Mark schemes are included as a guide for teachers. These mark schemes could also be used for peer-assessment if required.

I appreciate all constructive criticism, so I hope you are able to take time to review this resource.
