Description

In this unit, pupils explore and discuss the verse novel, 'Cloud Busting'. They will identify the features of verse novels and the range of poetic forms used by the author. Finally, pupils will discuss the characters in the text and develop a personal response.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' understanding of verse novels, which was explored in the prior unit 'The Final Year: reading'. In this unit, pupils will read and explore a verse novel that discusses similar themes using a range of poetic forms. Pupils will explore different perspectives around the key themes of friendship and bullying and develop their own take-away ideas. This unit prepares pupils for reading in secondary school, where they will build on their knowledge of text types and genres through the introduction to a range of texts suitable for Year 7.
