No further resources are required and there are some tasks that will easily fit into the teaching of any text.

These tasks can be used as assessments or set as cover lessons for this text. They are based on the new specification GCSE exam tasks and structured as these questions are. All of the tasks can easily be embedded within a scheme and also provide cross curricular links with Science.

A SoW for the text Coraline. The scheme does include extracts from other texts and poems with tasks designed to assess Writing, Reading, Spoken Language and Poetry. There are four cover lessons provided with prompts to help those that are not English specialists when delivering the lesson. The cover lessons are based on key themes of the texts so can be used at various points in the novel, which allow for maximum flexibility. The template used does give teachers the opportunity to comment on how their class found the lesson, which makes it easier to adapt to your context at the end of the year/in any gain time you have. This resource is just the SoW outline and the cover lessons. The powerpoints and worksheets for this SoW are available in a separate download.
