This unit of work has split up the novel into 7 sections so is designed to last 7 weeks however, this can be adapted to suit your learners. Please see the previews of the files to determine the sections of the book. The resource contains a range of challenging vocabulary, quality discussion questions and a choice of follow-up tasks for each section of the book. I have used it in my classroom following the Highland Literacy Project’s way of organising reading in the upper primary classroom. Children engage in reading 3 times per week: Session 1 - Pupils discuss the text, read the set pages independently and look up the vocabulary from the pages they have read. Session 2 - Pupils discuss the pages read with their group and the teacher. Session 3 - Pupils complete a follow-up task from the choices given to demonstrate further understanding. When I have used this, I have printed a few pages of the document to share between pupils in the reading group, with tasks completed in jotters. For example: For Week 1, Session 1 - pupils use page 1 of the document. For Week 1, Session 2 - pupils use page 2 of the document. For Week 1, Session 3 - pupils use page 2 of the document, and so on. I hope you find this resource useful, however you choose to use it!
