This engaging and thought-provoking lesson is the second in a sequence of 3 lessons designed to accompany the reading and promote children’s comprehension of Roald Dahl’s ‘The Magic Finger.’ This lesson covers the middle of the story (from page 16 to page 37), 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:
-Retrieving information about the events and characters in the middle of the story;
-Inferring and deducing hidden meanings, including what they have learnt about the main characters and events in this section of the text;
-Explaining key meanings, including how the Magic Finger has affected the Greggs and the ducks.
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.
