Circular Ending In Narrative

This unit of work is designed to draw students' attention to the types of endings that authors use to complete their narrative. Ideally, when readers become enthralled with the main character, they care about what happens to them and want to read the end of the story. Journey through this unit, through an exploration of the techniques authors use to hook the reader, including surprise, reflection, cliffhanger, and question endings. The unit also explores the concept of circular texts and allows students to develop their own circular narratives. There is ample opportunity to adapt this unit to buff out narrative writing sessions or extend existing written pieces by innovating on text types and changing the outcome of a story by practising endings.
