This Boy in the Tower SoW was created for a mixed ability virtual classroom. It can be adapted very easily to suit a classroom setting, replacing ‘Breakout Rooms’ with ‘table groups’. The mini-scheme of work includes 6 lessons, an assessment, tasks and videos. SoW works on KS3 English skills such as inference, analysis, analytical paragraphs and word and structural analysis. Some keywords have been provided in Arabic - though they can be easily removed or replaced. Reading assessment is included.

Easily adaptable, targets KS3 English skills and also includes a couple of literacy tasks to support low ability learners. Skills such as analytical paragraphs using sentence starters, inferential and analytical skills are also developed. Reading assessment is included.
