Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. In this lesson, we will review all of our learning on developing our creative writing responses by looking at a new text, 'The Time Machine' by H.G. Wells, and a stimulus image. We'll be breaking this down into a 'process' for approaching our written work - think, plan, draft, critique, write - which will hopefully be a routine you can apply to your work in the future.
