The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas - 25 lesson unit

This product is titled “The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne – 25 lessons covering the whole book.”

This is a 126-page PowerPoint which includes 25 lessons on the excellent novel The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, by John Boyne. Based in Auschwitz, an unlikely friendship develops between Bruno, the son of the Commandant, and a Jewish prisoner, Shmuel. It is a journey of friendship and adversity which introduces students to the Holocaust and Nazi Germany. It is beautifully written and perfect reading material for high school English students.

Each lesson I have put together includes a starter activity, comprehension questions, extension thinking activities, a main activity, and a lesson plenary. Everything is in one PowerPoint so its easy for you to follow and reading homework is set at the end of each lesson. Every lesson comes with clear aims and objectives too.

Please note you do need to purchase a class set of the books (or a digital copy of the book) to accompany this set of English lessons.

Wishing you a terrific day.
