KS3 Fables Creative Writing Scheme of Work | Six Complete Lessons | 52 Slides

Teach students how small stories can communicate powerful lessons with this engaging six-week KS3 fables unit.

Across six PowerPoint lessons, students explore how fables use anthropomorphic characters, contrasting traits, dialogue, conflict, choices and consequences to reveal ideas about human behaviour. They analyse original model texts before applying each technique to their own writing.

The course culminates in students planning, drafting, editing and evaluating an original fable with a thoughtfully developed moral.
