A fun and engaging scheme of work based around one of my favourite short stories by Roald Dahl.
I created this scheme of work for my Year 8 set 1 class; however, it could easily be differentiated for lower ability classes. I've endeavoured for the scheme and activities within to have a strong focus on developing pupils' AO2 skills.
The SoW guides you through the text with a focus on how Dahl creates tension as well as including activities to get the pupils thinking deeply about the characters and themes Dahl presents - all with a focus on analysing language - something which my pupils often struggle with!
I've chucked some fun templates in at the end (Facebook profile, Trip Advisor template, diary paper etc.) which could be used to break up the language analysis stuff.
I've put a lot of effort into this, so hopefully it will be useful for those who get the opportunity to teach this fantastic story.
