Free Narrative Fiction Writing Resource
Downloadable PDF resource for teachers
This free downloadable resource for upper primary to lower secondary teachers explores crime-mystery as a combined narrative genre, drawing together elements of crime, mystery and detective texts. It's a great way of introducing students to the crime-mystery genre through a practical, structured, and inspiring approach to narrative writing.
While these are often treated as separate genres, this lesson blends them to describe their shared structure, purpose and text features. It includes exemplars, discussion points and accompanying activities to support classroom learning and spark student engagement.
