The unit engages students in a close study of Michael Morpurgo’s novel ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom’. Students will explore the themes, characters and techniques developed by the author and illustrate their understanding of these via a combination of creative and analytical tasks.
Students will:
• understand the features of a characterisation, narrative and themes and identify these throughout a close reading of the novel
• develop their ability to infer meaning from the novel and consider their own interpretation of the concepts covered.
• be introduced to analytical writing via the PEE formula and use quotations to support their points of view in their writing
• recognise some basic narrative techniques and explain their use and effect on the viewer
• adopt these narrative techniques in their own creative writing
• use multimedia to compose an engaging Book Trailer.

I found this to be more of a brief long-term overview than a comprehensive programme of study. It references a lot of resources, lesson plans and worksheets which are not included and therefore make it very hard to make use of this resource. It was very much like reading somebodies planning notes without having access to any of their resources.
