This Narrative Writing unit is a masterclass in crafting compelling stories, perfectly tailored to the IGCSE First Language English syllabus. Each lesson builds purposefully on the last, guiding students from genre exploration to polished exam-ready narratives with clarity, creativity, and confidence. This unit doesn’t just teach students how to write stories – it teaches them how to think like writers. The balance of creativity, technique, and exam strategy is exceptional. Whether students are aiming for top marks or simply want to enjoy the craft of storytelling, this unit delivers. Highly recommended!
The classes were very helpful for my son. They were well structured and he learned a lot about the best way to answer the exam questions. He also enjoyed them, which is a bonus! I would recommend her classes to other home educators out there.
A higher level lesson for extended metaphors. This worked well for our higher level learners.

In The Whale Rider, Witi Ihimaera presents many complex characters with intriguing dynamics between each other. It can be argued that all characters are powerful in their own ways, whether through Koro’s position as Chieftain or Kahu as The Whale Rider. Personally, I argue that Rawiri, the narrator of our novel, holds the most power.

agged precipices enveloped the crumbling castle, with crimson red streams flowing through the valley. The Earth shook in fear of the impending doom, bringing several towers down with it. The castle stood out amongst the destruction, just barely having survived the first round of obliteration. Galloping sounds neared the castle, where knights once trained, but now, where they slept, forever.
