As Malorie Blackman herself says: 'I wanted to turn society as we know it on its head, with new names for the major divisions, ie Noughts (the underclass) and Crosses (the majority, ruling society). I wanted to see this new world through the eyes of the main two characters, Callum (a nought) and Sephy (a Cross).'.
The resource contains a progressive series of lessons which develop pupil knowledge and understanding of plot, characters, themes and language. English Teaching Resources: Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman covers many key areas of the new National Curriculum and can be revised and rewritten to suit your teaching needs.
Malorie Blackman was born in 1962.. Most of Blackman’s characters, like herself, are black, but until the publication of Noughts and Crosses (2001), discussed below, Blackman chose not to foreground the issue of race and ethnic identity, but rather to depict black characters simply living their lives, whether in ordinary or unusual.
