Pig Heart Boy - teaching resource

Pig Heart Boy - Malorie Blackman

(Unit of work with 175-slide PowerPoint presentation, 25 worksheets and teacher guidance notes)

This resource provides opportunities for the teaching of reading and writing skills based on the novel Pig Heart Boy by Malorie Blackman. 

There are a range of activities to teach grammar, punctuation and vocabulary but teachers will identify further opportunities to meet the needs of the children in their classes. There are also clear links to science.

The unit is not intended to be a prescriptive unit of work where all activities are worked through one after the other, although it is structured chronologically. Teachers should select from, and adapt, the range of suggested activities for each section to meet the needs of the children they teach. Many of the suggested activities can be repeated throughout the book.
