Series 3 | Lesson 4
Creators | Leanne Hall & Meg McKinlay
If we’re really invested in a story, everything leads to the story ending – and in this lesson, Leanne and Meg will explore ways to write them.
This lesson explores the art of writing story endings, and gives students some skills they need to plan satisfying conclusions for their stories. They will explore the different ways that stories can end, and will examine what makes a good and ‘bad’ story ending. Students will be challenged to think about their endings as ‘delivering on the promise of the story that came before it’.
Resources include lesson plans for middle and upper primary students, each with their own activities and supporting resources.
