I hope that a lot of us will do so for together this CD ROM of activities to be used on interactive whiteboards and 80 pages of activities to be photocopied provide thought-provoking work that proves that the age of the class novel is not dead - - The CD ROM is easy to navigate, with a selection of interactive ideas that complement the printed activities. Text can be enlarged, and on-screen instructions are available via a 'task' icon. There's a great graph with arrows that grow to pinpoint class responses to particular moments in the novel, an interactive quiz on superstitions that has real teen appeal, and a number of sorting exercises to encourage thinking skills and a whole-class discussion.'
