This engaging and thought-provoking double-lesson resource aids students in developing a secure understanding of the chapters 1 to 2 of Roald Dahl’s 'George’s Marvellous Medicine.’ The chapters covered in these lessons are ‘Grandma’ and ‘The Marvellous Plan.’

The lessons are guided by a comprehensive and colourful PowerPoint presentation, and enables students to understand the text through:
-Making predictions;
-Retrieving information;
-Inferring and deducing hidden meanings.

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. A worksheet/ template is also provided for the creative medicine activity (in both Word and PDF format).

There’s a lot in the session (20 slides in total) so I would recommend breaking into two lessons. The lessons are most suitable for children in upper key stage 1 or lower key stage 2, (they have been used in the past with children in years 2 and 3) but they could also be adapted for slightly older and younger year groups.
