  • Book Club

Description

In this unit, pupils explore and discuss the illustrated chapter book 'Varjak Paw'. They will share their opinion on the text and explore the key themes of hope, identity and self-discovery. Finally, pupils will engage in rich discussions, making connections and recommendations.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' understanding of characterisation and themes, which were explored in 'Swallow's Kiss'. In this unit, pupils will deepen their understanding of the range of ways characters and themes can be conveyed. Pupils will share take-away ideas and develop their confidence in making connections and recommendations to enhance the reading experience and broaden their understanding of literature. This unit prepares pupils for 'El Deafo: book club', where they will explore a graphic novel text and develop their understanding of plot in another form.
