Reading Fiction SOL for KS3 Dystopia/Alternate Reality

This is a full Scheme of Work for Reading Fiction for KS3 English. Included is an anthology of extracts from prose novels featuring alternative reality (all relatively recently written, with a few exclusions) and a 128 slide PPT, which has activities and tasks for 16/17 lessons. In light of current KS4 language exam specifications requiring analysis of prose extracts, this SOL worked well in familiraising students with extracts, and building analysis, evaluative and writing skills.

Lessons include character analysis, evaluation of language and setting, as well as tasks such as creating your own Hogwart's sorting Hat song, and organising a Mad Hatter's Tea Party, using the text to inspire creativity.
