Year 5 Goodnight Mr Tom (chapter 1) worksheets

Included are a range of worksheets to support the teaching of Goodnight Mr Tom (chapter 1). The first set of sheets cover sequencing six events in chapter 1 which can be enlarged and cut up in order to be sorted by the children. There are also a number of sheets which tackle the emotions of Willie as the events of chapter unfold. These should be used to plan the structure of a diary entry, written by Willie, about his first day living with Tom. The sheets are differentiated and made to look interesting and should cover three lessons:

• sequencing of chapter 1
• the emotions of a character during different events
• using descriptive language to add detail (simile and metaphor)
