This engaging and thought-provoking lesson is the first in a sequence of lessons designed to accompany the reading and promote children’s comprehension of Roald Dahl’s ‘The Magic Finger.’ This lesson covers the beginning of the story (up to the end of page 15), with enough content to be taught over at least two lessons.
The lessons are guided by a comprehensive and colourful PowerPoint presentation, and enables students to understand the text through:
-Making predictions about the story;
-Retrieving information about the events and characters in the story opening;
-Inferring and deducing hidden meanings, including what they have learnt about the main characters from the opening section of the text.
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 character profile activity (in both Word and PDF format).
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.
