I am the author of the dystopian trilogy, Paper Boats & Butterflies. With my teaching experience, I have created a scheme of work for book 1, Unfolding the Truth. This is comprised of 18 lessons, allowing for three lessons per week across a six-week term. Each lesson has a power point and resources. There are additional free resources too. My aim is to provide children with a great read in which they can relate to the characters and an adaptable resource for busy teachers.
