PPT features and notes to teachers

1. A created success criteria and learning intentions slide.
2. Initial reflection task -students write a prompt based on making inferences.
3. Before we read section on where and when the story takes place. Also, there is an inquiry question about Richmond in 1919 vs. today.
4. Detailed introduction to characters in the novel and three themes you could potentially structure an essay prompt with.
5. Introduction to character types in narrative texts, students then have to match the character type to the characters from the book. For example: The confidant character can be attributed to Charlie’s friend ‘Nostrils’.
6. After reading each chapter, I have set up comprehension questions for students to either complete in class or as homework tasks.
7. Reflection of success criteria and learning intentions at the end of the PPT, here the focus is to ask students to take accountability for their understanding and let you know what they easily understood and what they require more assistance with.
