Curious Incident: An EMC Study Guide (Download)

With a strong focus on reading for pleasure, this 64-page photocopiable PDF from the English and Media Centre offers a well-paced route through an engaging and thought-provoking novel and introduces Year 9 pupils (and above) to the challenges of critical reading and writing. Provides a wide range of approaches drawing on a variety of learning styles (charting, thought-tracking, role-play, continuum lines, creative and analytical writing, games, quizzes, visual material), with opportunities for extended speaking and listening, drama and original writing work and focused work on language and the craft of the writer.
