This scheme of work is a superb way to explore complex themes like identity, conformity, and the cost of silence. Inventing Elliot is an engaging, accessible text and this resource makes the most of it with carefully structured lessons that encourage empathy, reflection, and analytical thinking. The activities strike a great balance between reading for meaning and developing written responses, and the scheme builds beautifully towards mature discussion and thoughtful writing.
