The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas with reading comprehension and drama tasks

(0)
This resource pack contain a Powerpoint presentation for The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne which includes background information on the author, historical context and genre analysis. Part of this unit involves a script-writing task. For this, you will find a sample script written by actual Year 7 pupils and a "job descriptions" sheet so that individuals within the group are clear on their role. Incidentally this is good preparation for pupils taking GCSE drama where they will be attributed roles in a similar manner. You will also find three reading comprehension tasks: one for Chapter 1, and two differentiated tasks for Chapter 4, as well as some essential linguistic terms for literary analysis.

The Ice Monster by David Walliams - Scheme of Work and Powerpoint

(0)
This basic 7-week scheme of work is designed for busy teachers hoping to read ‘The Ice Monster’ with their Key Stage 2 or 3 class. There are weekly spelling labels for higher ability pupils. The Powerpoint provides a starting point for class discussions and activities. ‘The Ice Monster’ is set in Victorian Britain and would therefore sit well alongside KS2 topic work on the Victorians.

With themes such as autism, World War Two and travel, it is a truly captivating read with much to explore for an able group.
