Description
If you need to teach your students about suspense and tension, this is the bundle for you. You will find four clear and detailed lesson plans that will allow you to teach students how writers create tension and suspense. Then, they will practice what you've taught them using short mentor passages and two short stories: The Landlady, and Just Lather, That's All. Finally, students will apply what they have learned by writing a short piece that contains tension and suspense.
This bundle of lessons can span a few days to a week or more, depending on how long your classes are.
