The lesson plan for Writing a Novel Before You’re 18 — Is It Possible? is designed to support parents and carers who are guiding young learners through the exciting journey of storytelling. This resource helps you explore how children and teens can create, write, and even publish a full-length novel before adulthood. It breaks down the writing process into manageable parts, helping learners build confidence while developing their own original ideas.

Inside the plan, you’ll find clear learning objectives, reading and reflection prompts, fun and imaginative activities, and lots of questions to get your child thinking more deeply. Whether your learner is already writing stories or just starting to enjoy creative writing, the tasks can be adapted to suit different ages and abilities.

This is not a classroom lesson — it’s a flexible home education guide that can be used however suits your family best. You can follow it as a structured one-off lesson, spread the activities out over a week, or use it as a starting point for a much bigger writing project. The aim is to inspire young writers and support parents every step of the way.
