Probably the most detailed and comprehensive scheme of work you will ever encounter. I wrote this scheme for KS3/crossover into KS4. It covers the whole novel within the time frame of the autumn term (12 weeks). All 42 lessons use a range of reading strategies in order to decode the text. The scheme also includes a range of non fiction sources to help students understand the context and interpret meaning.
