Writing on a theme of 'lost and found'

This unit consists of a short, original text followed by three activities to develop writing skills. The activities reinforce poetic, expressive and transactional writing skills by requiring students to write a narrative, a diary entry and/or a travel guide article based on the content or ideas in the associated text. The text is a narrative about a boy called Leon who is travelling to the city to stay with a family friend. He panics when he realises he's lost the friend's contact information, but, after a bit of sleuthing, he comes up with a way to meet her as planned.
