Writing on a theme of 'confronting fear'

Poetic, expressive and transactional writing tasks

This unit consists of a short, original text followed by three activities to develop writing skills. The activities reinforce poetic, expressive and transactional writing skills by requiring students to write a poem, an opinion piece for a newsletter and/or an advertising brochure based on the content or ideas in the associated text. The text is a narrative about Darren conquering his fear of walking across a swing bridge.
