English Unit: Narrative Texts
This comprehensive unit takes students through writing narratives. The unit begins with a presentation to assist teachers in demonstrating the structure and language features required to write a good narrative and provides opportunities for students to practise what they have understood. The unit also contains posters, graphic organisers, activities, worksheets, and writing prompts. At the completion of the unit, an assessment has been included to monitor student understanding.
