Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Lesson 10: How Will it End? - PowerPoint

The tenth lesson in a series on 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' delves into predicting the conclusion of the story. The objectives of the lesson are to reinforce the pupils' understanding of the narrative and its characters by arranging story events in the correct sequence and engaging in 'hot seating' activities. This involves using inference and deduction skills to anticipate the story's ending. Students will revisit key moments such as Violet turning into a blueberry, the visit to the nut room, and the fates of the other children, leading up to Charlie being the last child remaining in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.

After reading selected chapters, students are tasked with sequencing events correctly and then discussing potential outcomes for the story and the protagonist, Charlie. The 'hot seating' activity encourages them to step into the shoes of characters like Charlie, Mr. Wonka, Grandpa Joe, and Charlie's parents, exploring their thoughts and feelings at this stage in the book. In groups, the students take turns being characters or questioners, with the latter probing for detailed responses to deepen their understanding of the characters' motivations and reactions. The lesson concludes with an opportunity for groups to perform their 'hot seating' scenarios to the class, allowing for further questioning and reflection on what they've learned about the characters through this immersive exercise.
