Travel Writing: Creating Imaginative Structures!

This stimulating and thought-provoking lesson enables students to create travel writing texts containing varied and imaginative structures, utilising strategies at both sentence level and whole-text level in order to add creativity and depth to their extended travel writing attempts. In particular, students learn how the subtle variation of sentence and paragraph order, in addition to a range of appropriate connectives, can help to create truly authentic and descriptive travel writing pieces.

The lesson follows a clear, logical, bite-size learning journey, which guides students towards differentiated learning objectives. Over the course of this journey, they become able to:
- Define and identify the words that make up sentences;
- Knowingly alter the structure and order of sentences, for effect;
- Apply this knowledge to travel writing contexts;
- Analyse model examples of travel paragraph/ whole text structures in travel writing;
- Write their own travel writing pieces, with varied and imaginative structures;
- Self/Peer assess travel writing attempts.

This resource pack includes:
- A visually engaging whole-lesson PowerPoint presentation;
- An logical, piece-by-piece writing plan, that enables students to build interesting whole-text and sentence level structures;
- A detailed lesson plan, complete with what the teacher and students should aim to achieve at each stage of the lesson.
