Ted Hughes’ The Iron Man is a classic science fiction novel that easily captures young imaginations. Its short length, along with the strength of the writing, makes it an ideal choice for classroom reading. This scheme of work has been written to encourage students to explore the characters and events of the book beyond the realm of the text; the text becomes a springboard for further imaginative work.
