This PowerPoint grew organically as the text was taught for the first time. The lessons are quite structured and routine as this was taught to a mixed ability class of varying abilities and also a number of behaviour issues. The lessons focus on literary techniques such as symbolism, tone, metaphor, etc. and quotes for essay writing. There are plenty of quotes from the novel and also page numbers for students to find quotes themselves for that specific technique. Practice essay paragraph writing is also included with modelled answers. Essay structure is also explained.
Quick lesson starters are also included in 'Grammar Police', an activity using poorly spelt celebrity tweets for students to correct as a settling activity.
A 50 - 60 minute lesson that introduces students to the concept of 'dehumanization' and how it is explored through the novel 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' by John Boyne. Includes definition of 'dehumanization', quotes and tone of voice technique analysis.
