It is designed to challenge students´ thinking and dive deep into the ethical grey areas presented in the novel. The unit focuses on the writing skills of diary entries, newspaper articles, and opinion pieces. Most writing tasks are differentiated, allowing students to choose their tasks from a pool of four. This means that all students are able to participate and be challenged. The scheme uses a simplified version of literature circles to allow students to work in groups and discuss the themes at key points in the novel.

Note: A FREE SAMPLE of this lesson is available here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12693348 This PowerPoint is centered around a line-by-line analysis of the poem, thus enabling students to plan and answer one of the four IGCSE exam-style questions on the final slide. The slideshow introduces the students to the author’s purpose and the overall themes first, and concludes with a task in which students are asked to link quotes from the poem to the themes. The slideshow spans 28 animated slides. I would recommend starting students off with the context PowerPoint, which can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12685674
