This engaging and informative lesson enables students to make clear, detailed and well-informed interpretations of the theme of life and death in ‘Never Let Me Go.’ In particular, students develop their understanding of how this theme is introduced and developed, drawing on a varied range of textual evidence from across the novel, before demonstrating their understanding of how the theme is used to get across Ishiguro’s key ideas.
The lesson follows a step-by-step learning journey, in which children learn through:
Reading an extract detailing the introduction to the theme of life and death in the novel, and answering comprehension questions to demonstrate understanding;
Tracking and analysing the development of the theme of life and death throughout the novel, through a interesting timeline task;
Understanding how the theme of life and death is used to portray Ishiguro’s key meanings and ideas;
Using their deep understanding of the theme of life and death to answer an exam-style question;
Peer assessing each other’s learning attempts.
Included is:
Whole lesson PowerPoint - colourful and comprehensive;
Novel TImeline Template;
Selected extract (from chapter 7);
Essay Template
Comprehensive lesson plan.
There are also opportunities for group learning, speaking and listening, peer assessment, and whole class discussion. I originally used these resources with year 10 and 11 classes, however colleagues have used them for between year 9 and year 13 with some adaptations.
