Features of Travel Writing and extract analysis KS3, KS4

Students learn about the different features of a successful piece of travel writing.

For each feature the ppt explains how to recognise it, the intended effect on the reader and an example.

Students must then apply this knowledge by annotating a short extract from Bill Bryson’s ‘Walk in the Woods’.

This was an introduction to a travel writing scheme of work that culminates with students crafting their own piece of travel writing. For homework the task was to research a country of their choice so that they can then write about it next lesson.

I have also included the checklist for their travel writing of all of the features covered in the lesson and a self-reflection/assessment page.
