“Writing for a Purpose: War Stories” is a powerful educational resource designed to help Key Stage 2+ children explore the emotions, characters, and challenges found in war-time storytelling.
This unique guide explains the features of war stories—like real-life settings, brave everyday characters, and the importance of hope in dark times. Children will learn how to craft scenes filled with suspense, emotion, and humanity. With vivid examples and writing tips, this resource brings history to life through gripping storytelling.
A sample war story is included, helping pupils see how to blend fact with feeling. Teachers can use this resource to spark rich discussions, build historical understanding, and encourage empathy through narrative writing.
“Writing for a Purpose: War Stories” also supports cross-curricular learning. Children can link their writing to history or citizenship by exploring the lives of children in wartime.
