Description

In this unit, pupils explore and discuss the illustrated chapter book, 'The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane'. They share their opinion on the text and explore the key themes of love, compassion and loss. Finally, pupils make connections and recommendations for two other texts.

This unit uses and builds on the prior unit, 'Varjak Paw', where pupils explored an illustrated chapter book. In this unit, pupils will develop their understanding of the features of an illustrated chapter book, through exploration of a narrative containing themes of love, compassion and loss. Pupils will discuss friendships and relationships between the characters. This unit prepares pupils for the future unit, 'The Unforgotten Coat', where they will revisit the importance of friendship and love in the context of a nomad/refugee's experiences of migrating to England.
