Have a look at the author Deborah Ellis – Parvana, Parvana’s Journey, and Shauzia ( Breadwinner trilogy). Her most recently published one – Kids of Kabul , is a series of interviews with boys and girls aged from 10 – 17, talking about their lives now in Afghanistan. Also Patricia McCormick’s book published earlier this year – All Fall Down, the story of a boy and his resilience under the Pol Pot regime.
Any/all of these books are well worth reading

My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece by Annabel Pitcher. The narrator’s older sister is killed in a terrorist bomb attack, The family is ripped apart by grief and the novel follows how the different characters deal with the fallout and the father’s resulting hatred of Muslims. My 2 Year 10 classes (mid and low ability) really enjoyed it.

I am using work developed by a colleague using a mixed set of novels to ask Y10 students to ponder: “How does the strength of the human spirit help people cope with traumatic experiences.” The novels include Boy in striped pjs, Goodnight Mr Tom etc
Does anyone know of any suitable movies or youtube videos that could enrich this study please? Or poetry?
I’ll also take this opportunity to sincerely apologise to everyone for mistakenly sending a personal message to the whole list earlier today. Many thanks Catherine Lee Epsom Girls Grammar School |
