A booklet I gave to my Year9s once we’d read part of Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman (we’d read up to just after the trial of Ryan). It includes a List of 11 tasks from which they can choose at least 2 to complete to show their understanding of the novel (characters, plot, themes etc.). F More…ollowing the introductiry sheet, there is a sheet for every task that explains exactly what they have to do, along with advice. They had one lesson to read the booklet, ask questions and use copies of the novel to prepare for their tasks. They then had to complete them for homework.
