Series 2 | Lesson 1
Creators | Andrew McDonald & Ailsa Wild
Some writers work best when they carefully plan out all the details of their story before they begin.
Others don’t plan much at all, but prefer to just … write and see what happens!
In this lesson, we’ll hear from Ailsa and Andrew about different ways to write a story - from plotting and planning, to flying by the seat of your pants!
Resources include lesson plans for middle and upper primary students, each with their own activities and supporting resources.
