Approaching unseen fiction texts
In this lesson, we will look at Freytag’s Narrative Pyramid and the idea of ‘Four conflicts in Literature’ as ways of reading unseen fiction extracts. You will then have an opportunity to try out these ideas by applying this learning to an unseen fiction extract from H G Wells’ ‘The Time Machine’. You will be guided through the reading with prompt questions and after each section we will stop to review our ideas together. At the end of the lesson, there will be a quiz to recap on our learning.
