Writing Task - Narrative - The Meeting
This riveting narrative writing task (tried and tested!) has students choose two characters from different texts to meet. Will they become evil partners in crime? Walk off into the sunset? (Please, no.) Solve a problem, defeat an enemy, help each other understand themselves or fight? Think Frankenstein's monster meets Jack from Lord of the Flies.
This FULLY EDITABLE task is aimed around the year 12 level, but could easily be used a level up or down.

Sharing/Copying this Resource
Feel free to purchase just one for your department - no need for a copy for each teacher. However:
- Please do NOT share with the school down the road.
- Please do NOT take it with you to a new school.
- Feel free to suggest the website to others - that'd be great!
That's pretty fair we think! Let's help each other out. :)
