Modern Prose Complete SOW KS3 YA (fully resourced) the face that pins you

25 fully resourced lessons for KE Salisbury’s brand-new, gripping, YA page-turner the face that pins you, ideal for sprucing up your KS3/MYP curriculum. Students have loved reading this, laughing out loud at the jokes, gasping at the twists and getting thoroughly sucked in by the lifelike characters. I taught it with Year 8, but it would work equally well further up the age range.

Key themes include: social media, mental health, friendship, parenting and identity. It’s also got several incredible twists: you’ll need to swear the keen ones (who WILL read on) to silence!

The scheme of work includes 4 assessments (two writing and two reading), with mark schemes and time-saving feedback templates. All lessons come with a powerpoint/Google slides and handouts (where necessary), and the scheme includes:

• embedded drama activities
• a debate lesson
• feedback and reflection lessons
• guided research on mental health issues
• videos by the author giving insight into various aspects of the novel
• glossaries
• links to Blookets on the text
• extension tasks
• writing frames for LA students
  (You’ll also need Jenga for a couple of lessons!)

An overview document will give you a breakdown of each lesson, plus ideas for differentiation. Lessons tend to follow the entrance task-starter-development-mini-plenary-consolidation-plenary pattern. Learning objectives and success criteria are clearly displayed, and differentiation is built in.

Normally, I charge for my schemes of work (over 900 sales) as they do represent many, many hours of work. However, this one I’m making free as it’s such a joy to teach (and read) that I want everyone to have the opportunity to share this gripping story with their students.

Have fun!
