It will be necessary to remain flexible from the original framework of this unit because of the mixed ability nature of this class. Activities are designed to suit a variety of needs as well as learning styles and preferences. This grade is used to working in situations involving mixed ability group work, but it is evident that some of the students displaying a higher ability in English do prefer to work independently and find their results much more satisfying. So, although quite a few of the activities incorporate, or are based upon group work there will be a suitable balance with individual effort. At least five lessons over the length of the unit will involve working on the computers in class time.
All students are familiar with the school computers due to compulsory studies in previous years.
There will be a certain amount of freedom and flexibility regarding student choice. In some instances, particularly any extension work, students will be able to choose what they want to do. In some instances this will mean all students are doing the same activity but with a different focus and at other times individual student may be working on something completely different to the rest of the class. However it will be concerned with the text and any related topics. Show characters importance in literature and this novel in particular.
