Aside from the novel, you will need no further resources; the scheme is extremely detailed and comprehensive. It comes with: 19 fully animated powerpoints, each covering 1-2 chapters in the book. A comprehensive excel sheet with lesson-by-lesson guidance for the teacher as well as ideas for extension in the event that the unit runs short (unlikely) A printable unit overview for students showing when assessments will occur, when reading homework is set and other useful info Model texts for diary entries, newspaper articles and opinion pieces to scaffold and inspire students´ writing.

Several easy-to-mark homework quizzes to check whether students have kept up with reading A comprehensive mid-unit assessment complete with rubrics and student feedback sheets An end-of-unit student satisfaction survey Links to relevant Kahoot quizzes This is a novel study unit that focuses on the concepts of science fiction, utopia, and dystopia. 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.

This scheme of work is expected to take around a full term to complete if not rushed and contains: Ten skills-based PowerPoints, each expected to take several lessons Worksheets, key texts and other hand-outs to go along with the PowerPoint Five assessments: Two writing, two reading and one speaking Assessment feedback sheets for easy and focused feedback Overview of each PowerPoint including its pertinent AFFs and requisite resources Extension ideas if you finish the scheme of work early The scheme of work is centered around the theme of Gothic, with particular focus on the writings of Edgar Allen Poe. The primary emphasis is reading and analytical writing (PEE) and the secondary emphasis is narrative writing for effect. The scheme of work is highly differentiated and thus caters to the spectrum from mid/high ability year 7 to low ability year 9 (Level 3-5+). Each powerpoint begins with outlining the assessment foci (Derived from the National Strategies APP), stratified over a level spectrum (typically between levels 3-5+), which are then distilled down to a simple Key Question which students needs to focus on during the powerpoint. From this, three learning objectives are derived, again based on the APP. From this, there will typically be a short warm-up task, an introduction to the skills and then some free practice with the skills. Each powerpoint ends up with revisiting the Key Question and then a self-assessment anchored in the learning objectives, which allows students to place themselves on the levels spectrum. Throughout the scheme of work, students are required to read a Gothic novel of their choice. The scheme of work concludes with an assessment battery based on this novel.
