Roald Dahl's Boy Themed Oracy / Philosophy for Children Set of 8 lessons

A set of 8 lessons using Roald Dahl's Boy as the inspiration for Philosophy for Children, linked closely to fiction texted aimed at extending children's literacy levels. Through reading of a range of texts linked to autobiography and childhood, pupils engage in discussions centred around issues linked to growing up and childhood. The reading materials supplied contain excerpts from fiction, non-fiction, prose, play, poetry and modern / Pre-Twentieth Century texts and are a useful introduction to more challenging, older texts required in the new curriculum in the form of small, manageable extracts.

For use with Year 7 or 8

Contains:
8 self contained PowerPoint presentations which include entire lessons - excerpt from Boy, plus short discussion tasks leading into a number of potential Philosophy for Children questions.
