This popular BritLit kit has been revised and reshaped from the 2005 original and contains new material. The teacher is offered a ‘slimmed down’ version which can be used to occupy just one or two lessons. There is also a bank of supplementary material for those who want to spend more time on the story.

Interesting
Interesting, reminds me of the The Wolf is Coming story.
A very thoughtful article
A very thoughtful article and this is a problem that every teachers have with kids that's getting in trouble often. Trust them or not to thrust..
Thanks a lot for the story.
Thanks a lot for the story. It was very instructive, gives much food for thoughts, and promotes the students desire to reading. I'll, undoubtedly, use it in my teaching practice.
Great work. Thank you for sharing. As soon as possible I am going to put into practise it.
