'Touching the Void' scheme of work

14 lessons, fully planned with learning objectives and homework tasks across the unit, this scheme was originally delivered to a middle/low ability Year 9 class. This unit is not based on GCSE specifications but instead looks at both text and film. The first part of the scheme focuses on creating evidence of reading analysis skills for the teacher, by exploring extracts and writing up responses. The second part of this scheme is media-based, watching the film and concluding with writing a film review. There are also additional activities at the closing of the unit, allowing for more creative writing and a speaking and listening task.

Each lesson has a covering slide for teacher reference, detailing resources and a lesson brief. Whilst the scheme refers to APP Reading and Writing assessment areas, these can easily be adapted to suit the assessment in your department.

I appreciate all constructive criticism, so I hope you are able to take time to review this scheme.
