Enjoy and share this Horror Writing SOW which consists of 14 lessons that are detailed, engaging and challenging. SOW covers a range of skills, including reading/analysis skills. Some lessons look at the Gothic literature roots of horror - beneficial for introducing KS3 readers to the Gothic genre which they will come across in GCSE English Literature.

Using Christopher Vogler’s ‘The Hero’s Journey’, I have put together a SOW in which students write their own fantasy short story over the course of 16 lessons. Lessons are detailed, engaging and teach a range of writing skills. Aimed at KS3. Enjoy the resource!
