Floodland by Marcus Sedgwick | KS3 English Writing Pack | SEN-Friendly

An engaging and accessible writing resource pack based on Floodland by Marcus Sedgwick, designed for KS3 English, novel study and literacy development.

This pack contains 10 visually structured writing resources that can be used alongside the study of Floodland. The activities are designed to help students develop written responses while exploring the novel’s characters, settings, events and key themes.

Ideal for Years 7, 8 and 9, these resources are particularly suitable for mixed-ability classes, SEN and SEND learners, intervention groups and students who benefit from clear, manageable and scaffolded writing activities.

The pack supports a range of English skills including creative writing, descriptive writing, narrative writing, character analysis, setting description, viewpoint writing and reading response.

Floodland provides excellent opportunities for students to explore themes including climate change, survival, isolation, friendship, trust, conflict, community, environmental change and resilience.

The novel’s flooded dystopian setting also provides a strong stimulus for imaginative and descriptive writing, allowing students to develop vocabulary, atmosphere, characterisation and narrative techniques.

These resources can be used during whole-class teaching, independent work, literacy intervention, homework, cover lessons or as part of a wider Floodland scheme of work.

The clear visual format helps make extended writing more accessible for students who need additional structure and support.
