'Iridescent Adolescent' by Phoebe Roy

SHORT STORY MINI SCHEME OF WORK (3 LESSONS) FOR YEAR 9S

• Suitable for mixed ability or banded groups
• Contains ideas to adapt lessons for A level students
• Focuses on one of the diverse short stories within EMC’s Iridescent Adolescent collection
• Contains ‘Teacher’s Notes’

This resource contains three lessons (which can be made into four lessons, if desired), aimed at mixed ability (or banded) Year 9 students who are going on to study GCSE or iGCSE English. The lessons could also be adapted for A level teaching or can be made more difficult for high achievers - I have given a couple of ideas for this within the Powerpoint, labelled clearly as ‘STRETCH/A LEVEL LESSON OPPORTUNITY’.

‘Areas’ covered within this sequence of lessons:

• Story openings
• Genre
• Imaginative writing
• Themes
• Plot
• Structure
• Inference/interpretation

The story ‘Iridescent Adolescent’, by Phoebe Roy, can be found in English and Media Centre’s publication by the same name, Iridescent Adolescent, which is a collection of diverse short stories.

The resource is in the form of a Powerpoint which is ready to go! Teacher’s notes are within the Powerpoint, both within the ‘Notes’ pane and on some hidden slides.
