Fully resourced scheme of work to accompany this KS3 text. Power-point and resources combine reading and writing activities and there is plenty of scope for discussion of the key themes arising in the text.
This is a fully resourced, fully differentiated SOW to teach Other Side of Truth. It covers the whole text with a range of activities - reading skills (fiction/ non-fiction), writing skills (create and non-fiction) and speaking and listening. There are linked poems and context and enough lessons to cover a full 12 week term. Taught to year 7 but could be used up to year 9 as there are tasks to challenge high ability students.
Comparing Sade’s experiences of England with Nigeria after reading The Other Side of Truth by Beverly Naidoo. Other tasks in this series can be found at www.teachit.co.uk
A whole 2nd week's resources around The Other Side of Truth and looking at some key skills to develop their knowledge of newspaper articles as well as learning to empathise with characters.
4 days of lesson plans with the focus on the children putting into practice the skills they have been studying over the last 3 weeks and creating their own newspaper reports.
A whole week of lessons covering The Other Side of Truth. The children create story maps, retell stories orally and plan / box-up their writing for the next chapter of the story.
A whole week of lessons covering The Other Side of Truth. The children are writing their own chapter of the story, developing their own characters and peer assessing.
A whole 3rd week's resources around The Other Side of Truth and looking at gathering key facts together, sequencing events and studying direct and indirect speech.
This bundle contains a variety of differentiated models for recounts including models with high quality vocab and low quality vocab for children to discuss the impact of sentence structure and vocabulary on the reader.
These provided a fantastic basis for high quality writing based on the book: The Other Side Of The Truth.
The Other Side of Truth by Beverley Naidoo tells the story of a Nigerian family torn apart by the depth of their mother. Femi and Sade, the children, enter England illegally and the story follows their journey as it explores what truth actually is.
This 12-week scheme works through the book and combines activities linked to Power of Reading and Talk for Writing. Grammar is linked into the scheme based on the type of writing. Weeks are made up of 1/ 2 /3 and 4 lessons allowing for writing to take place over 2 days and also editing lessons.

If your students enjoyed Under the Same Moon, this film takes the same topic to the next level. 3 stories are intertwined in Mexico, Cuba and Morocco as three children and their families deal with different consequences from the departure of loved ones to the "other side". This film brings up MANY topics of discussion about immigration, dangers of their trips and life for those left behind. Movie guide contains 30 questions in Spanish and English and 7 topics for discussion follow-up. Movie is rated PG-13. A very good film and lots to talk about afterwards with your students!
This is a game I created and use with Y9 as part of a SOW that addresses the question of 'What is real?'
This game features in a lesson on the Matrix and we explore whether or not students think it's always best to know the truth. The link to the film is made through the choice of the red and blue pill.
I devised the game in order to help students find reasons and give justifications for deciding to either stay in the Matrix, or leave and discover the truth.
It's necessary to print the game board as A3 and the cards as A4.
A powerpoint presentation showing a little storyboard about people seeing a cube from different sides, and how they work out who is telling the truth about what they see. Great for starting discussions about seeing things from other perspectives, and listening to others. Also could be a story starter.
I designed to give pupils choice in their outcome. Pupils use resources found for homework or give access to internet to gain as many points as they can before the end of the day at G8 summit. Also works well as a cover lesson.
