We are also teaching My Sister Lives on the Mantlepiece to all of our Year 9 classes this year. It is a very powerful novel and lends itself to some amazing opportunities with extension work. Highly recommend it.

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.From: Catherine LeeSent: Monday, May 07, 2012 2:50 PMSubject: [ICTs in English] living through traumaI 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
