Engaging and ready to teach one hour lesson to cover chapter four of ‘The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas’ by John Boyne. This lesson begins with a reminder of key words and techniques in the book so far. It moves onto a silent debate about statements about the Holocaust - I have used this activity a number of times and it creates a very powerful atmosphere in the classroom.

Lots of information very concisely put on each slide but slide is not cluttered so easy to read. Love first slide guiding students through whole lesson structure. lesson structure starter, main, plenary detailed on slides but not intrusive. Engaging activities to expand learning. great to have an extract to analyse. Basically downloaded and taught lesson with just a couple of tweaks for differentiation for my class.
