"Imagine a world where dinosaurs survived" - The World of Supersaurs by Jay Jay Burridge

Download: KS3 Creative Writing Resource, Supersaurs

This resource pack is designed to get 11-14 year olds thinking about the definition of 'adventure', exploring its themes and features before making their own unique mark within the genre. 

The lessons included in this pack are based on two classic adventure stories: The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling and Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson - as well as a modern novel, The World of Supersaurs, The Stegosorceror, by Jay Jay Burridge. These books invite young people to explore, in every sense of the word, and to test the limits of adventure writing.

The six lessons included have been designed as sequential activities and can be taught as whole units or as individual activities to be dipped in and out of. Each activity will guide pupils through the different elements of the adventure genre, giving them the skills and confidence they need to draft, structure and write a creative piece of their own.
