Anne Frank
£14.95
We use this scheme of work with our Year 9 students as a link to KS3 history. Our focus within the scheme is to enable the students to develop a sense of empathy with Anne Frank and her situation.
Students have the opportunity to develop character as well as consider what it is like to be hiding in the annexe. The scheme of work employs a variety of techniques that Year 9 students should have had the opportunity to learn and use, including abstract drama. You will find with this scheme that the learning objectives are targeted to levels. No matter what system you use it is important to differentiate the work that you are undertaking, enabling all students to achieve as well as offering them opportunities to stretch themselves.
