I am running a workshop with Valerie Coultas and the NATE annual conference on July 1st in Kingston

https://www.nate.org.uk/

as part of the NATE multicultural and diversity working group. We met last night zoomily to plan and want to include a practical activity around a story book frequently used as a 'set text' in top junior lower secondary classrooms. The activity will be like the ones on CLP website

http://www.collaborativelearning.org/literaturefiction.html

designed to promote engagement and playful purposeful chat around the topics in a book so that children new to English will be included in the lesson to a greater degree. I would be grateful if colleagues, currently teaching those years, could suggest titles of books frequently and commonly used to be worked on for this collaborative activity. I am going to. post this on EAL coordinators facebook page too.

If by any chance you have been busy doing likewise please share your results!
