'Emergency Landing' is a very short story by Louise Cooper, from her collection of very short stories called 'Short and Scary'. This kit is the third in the series for young teens. Engine problems during a flight cause the crew to look for somewhere safe to land and for passengers to wonder about what might happen when they make an emergency landing. But nothing is quite as it seems. Unlike previous kits, the text is incorporated in two parts into the worksheets (see 'Context'), otherwise this follows the same pattern as previous kits in the series by having a pre-reading or Characterisation section, followed by a Context, Word Work and After Reading sections. The teacher is expected to use the parts they feel will be necessary or useful to make their own 'kit' but we do strongly advise that the pre-reading section is used in its entirety.
