Mystery and Adventure Writing Unit, Yr 4

About this teaching resource

Dive into the world of mystery and adventure with our 6-page PDF resource Mystery and Adventure Writing Unit, Yr 4, for teachers.

Employing the READING LIKE A WRITER approach, students delve into read-alouds, shared reading, and mentor texts to hone their narrative skills. Utilise a variety of mentor texts to help students grasp the genre and compare different versions.

Try our 'good writer' mini lessons:  For example, good writers of mystery and adventure stories plan their plots carefully and revise them to make them better. They start their stories in exciting ways to grab the reader's attention and create characters like detectives or villains. They use descriptive language to show how characters feel and create detailed settings. They also use strong words and dialogue to make the story interesting and edit their work to make it perfect before sharing it with others.

Empower students to unleash their creativity and storytelling prowess while honing their writing skills.
