A complete scheme of work on biography, which uses substantial extracts from the Diary of Anne Frank, as well as poems and other prose extracts. The 19 lessons include both reading and writing assessments, an extended writing project, and a teacher(s) in role lesson that is the most fun I’ve ever had with a class - I still have Year 11 students who come up to me to talk about it from when they were in Year 8. A scheme of work overview document gives you a break down of each lesson, along with ideas for differentiation and AFL. All lessons come with a powerpoint and other resources. Happy teaching!
Note: 1. For copyright reasons, the extracts from Anne Frank are not included. You will need a copy of the text. However, the dates of the relevant extracts are clearly labelled, so you should easily be able to find them in your copy.
2. For some reason Lesson 4 was missing from the zip file, so this is included separately.
Hi, thanks for these resources. I like the idea of the scrapbook, please could you provide some more detail on how you run this project? Any examples of what you include in them would be much appreciated! My email is a.flanagan@llandoverycollege.com

Hello! Thanks for the lovely review. I'm sorry to say I don't have any copies: students always take theirs home. It's been a few years since I taught this anyway. However, to answer your question students would include:
- poems they had written (The I come from and the Free verse lessons help with these)
- the MOPSS memories work
- letters to future selves
- diary entries
- photos, ticket stubs, doodles, drawings, lists
Anything really. One year we got them to write reviews. I used to find that giving students a lesson to work on their scrapbook content was often a good idea, especially if I hadn't had time to mark an assessment and wanted to give feedback on that before I moved on with the unit.
I hope that helps!

Hi, a great resource - thank you. Lesson 4 appears to be missing save for an extract. Could you send me lesson 4 via my email? bint.hanif1990@gmail.com

Hi. Thanks for the review. No idea why that isn't there, so I do apologise. I've e mailed the missing lesson over (if anyone else reading this has the same problem, please message me with your e mail and I'll do the same).

The lessons are really well structured and laid out. Could you please point me in the direction of where to find the written resources you reference when doing the specific Anne Frank lessons? Would love to give you 5 stars but at the moment some of the lessons can't be used as I'm not sure where the information is!

Hi Yasemin, thanks for the feedback.<br />
<br />
I assume by written resources you mean the extracts from Anne Frank: A Diary of a Young Girl. For copyright reasons, I obviously couldn't include a whole copy of the text as I don't own it! However, if you don't want to buy a copy yourself, I note that there do seem to be pdf versions available online, though I wouldn't like to comment about the legality of that.<br />
<br />
I used the BBC published version (it looks like this: http://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-a-book-the-diary-of-a-young-girl-by-anne-frank-published-by-the-bbc-71707981.html) so if you managed to get hold of a copy of that, then all the page numbers would correspond. However, apart from the first lesson to use Anne Frank, I always listed the date of the diary entry, so you should be able to find the correct diary entry in any version. You could then adjust the page numbers accordingly for your own teaching.<br />
<br />
Was that what you meant? I hope that's helpful.
