Summer 2 – War of the Worlds - A Graphic Novel, written by Chris Mould (inspired by H.G.Wells Classic)
This term we are using the the graphic novel of War of the Worlds by Chris Mould. It retells H. G. Wells’ classic story of a Martian invasion of Earth. It follows the main character trying to survive as terrifying machines from Mars land in England and begin destroying everything in their path. Through dramatic illustrations and a fast-paced narrative, the book explores themes of survival, fear, and the fragility of human civilisation in the face of a powerful, unknown enemy.
We will be using the text to guide our writing as we explore the possibility of secret codes from space, asteroids crashing into the school and mysterious alien robots attacking the school.
