The booklet covers:

  • Choosing between Poetry, Folklore, Drama or a Short Story
  • Features and structure of each genre
  • Creative “Idea Sparks” for learners who need inspiration

  • Research and note-taking skills
  • Mind maps, sequence charts and Venn diagrams
  • Recording sources used during research
  • Planning, drafting, revising, editing and proofreading

Learners receive dedicated writing frames for all four genres, helping them organise their ideas before they begin writing. These include poetry word banks and figurative language prompts, folklore story planning, drama character and dialogue planning, and a structured short-story planner.

The booklet also includes a final editing checklist, presentation tips, getting-ready checklist, Word Treasure Chest and Certificate of Achievement, providing support through every stage of the project.
