'Private Peaceful' scheme of work

17 lessons, fully planned on the novel, ‘Private Peaceful’. Scheme of work covers a range of reading and writing skills which can be easily adapted to suit different KS3 abilities.

Lessons include: creating a research booklet, writing a news broadcast, comparison with Owen’s ‘Dulce et Decorum est’ and a job advert task. There are several opportunities for Reading and Writing assessments, with a main Reading assessment task at the end of the scheme. There is also a S&L role play task, to allow teacher’s to formally assess if required.

Each lesson is fully planned with learning objectives and starter tasks with some Homework activities already planned. There is a covering slide for each lesson for the teacher’s reference, detailing a rough lesson outline, any resources required and whether Homework has been set. Finally there are suggestions on how to create a classroom display from this unit.
