This is a unit to study the novel Freak the Mighty, aimed at S1 and S2 pupils in Scotland, or Year 7 and Year 8 pupils in England.
There is a PowerPoint for each lesson, with a section of the novel to read, comprehension tasks and some creative writing tasks.
Towards the end of the unit, there is a diary writing task that could be used as a creative response assessment.
Finally, there is an assessment task of a character critical essay with a success criteria, guidance and examples.
I cannot take full credit for this unit, as some tasks (the grammar based ones) have been suggested by fellow colleagues, and so I am indebted to them for this, but the rest of the unit, tasks and assessment tasks have all been created by me.
There is a very good reading of the novel currently available on Youtube that I have used occasionally, but this is a novel whee some pupils do want to take part on the reading because of its lively young characters.
