Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Take structured notes on thirteen named characters across the series
Summarize key events from each of Season 1's eight episodes in a dedicated notes grid
Compose a three-part diary entry as one of the thirteen named Heartstopper cast members, retelling three scenes in that character's voice.
Record and organize information about the show using the header and open-response sections

Teaching tips

Assign the episode-notes grid as a running log completed after each episode, rather than all at once at the end of the season
Model one character-notes entry (e.g., Nick Nelson or Charlie Spring) as a class before students complete the remaining twelve independently
The three-page diary task is the most demanding section; consider assigning it as a follow-up writing lesson once students have finished the season
