The second lesson in a historical fiction series encourages pupils to develop a character profile of a colonial person using research acquired in the previous unit. Learners prepare their historical fiction narrative by responding to a writing prompt depicting a particular colonial period scenario. Additionally, young writers work collaboratively to generate a rubric they will later use in the final task.
