IGCSE English Language Descriptive and Narrative Writing Scheme of Work SoW

This resource is a scheme of work that hopefully offers a series of unique ways into descriptive and narrative writing. The scheme should last at least 20 lessons.

It has a fantastic lesson that guides students through planning descriptive writing, so that it is planned for effect.
It has some fun and unique creative writing activities often responding to different pieces of art.
It has a lesson on planning narrative writing using a curated list of short films.
It has a feedback lesson focused on making writing more concrete and maintaining tense (examiners reports from Cambridge often cite lapses in tense as a major reason for losing marks).
It has a series of lessons on punctuation for effect (punctuated by pictures of cute animals)

All resources are included and all videos are linked in the notes section of the slides.

As I tend not to recommend that students do narrative writing for the exam there are less lessons on this.

Please get in contact if there is anything you’d like me to add or clarify about the lessons.
