Writing on a theme of 'animals' or 'making excuses'

Poetic, expressive and transactional writing tasks

This unit consists of a short, original text followed by three activities to develop writing skills. The activities reinforce poetic, expressive and transactional writing skills by requiring students to write a play script, an editorial and/or an article based on the content or ideas in the associated text. The text is a personal reflection piece about a dog called Buster who is infamous for eating pictures of dog food, and the consequences of this for the author.
