Holes Scheme of Work

B and D Publishing’s Scheme of Work on Holes by Louis Sachar, suitable for key stage 3 pupils.

Holes is a lively and entertaining read. It tells the story of an unlucky teenage boy named Stanley Yelnats, who is sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention centre in a desert in Texas, after being falsely accused of theft. The plot explores the history of the area and how the actions of several characters in the past have affected Stanley’s life in the present. These interconnecting stories touch on themes including racism, homelessness, and illiteracy.
