This engaging and thought-provoking lesson is the second in a sequence of lessons designed to accompany the reading and promote children’s comprehension of Roald Dahl’s ‘Esio Trot.’ This lesson covers the section of the text in which Mr Hoppy has an idea to help Alfie the tortoise to ‘grow’ and win Mrs Silver’s heart. It covers pages 16 to 33 in the Puffin version of the story.
The lesson is guided by a comprehensive and colourful PowerPoint presentation, and enables students to understand the text through:
-Retrieving information about the events and characters in this section of the story;
-Inferring and deducing hidden meanings, including key inferences about the sincerity of Mr Hoppy’s plan;
-Explaining key ideas, including how they think Mr Hoppy’s plan will work.
The sessions include a range of retrieval, vocabulary, inference, explanation and deeper thinking activities. A clear, colourful and comprehensive PowerPoint presentation guides students through the learning.
The lessons are most suitable for children in upper KS1 or lower KS2, depending upon the individual context of the class - they have been tried and tested in the classroom with both year 2 and year 3 children.
