Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Lesson 3: The Factory - PowerPoint

Lesson Three of the English Teaching Resources, titled "The Factory," is designed to enhance students' understanding of descriptive writing, specifically focusing on Roald Dahl's style in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." The objective of the lesson is to develop students' knowledge of how Dahl vividly describes settings and characters within the story. The lesson begins with an interactive activity where students pair up and describe a classmate, including details about their appearance, voice, habits, and preferences. The partner listens and tries to guess who is being described, fostering attentive listening and descriptive speaking skills.

Following the initial activity, the lesson delves into Dahl's portrayal of the chocolate factory. Students are instructed to read specific pages from the book to explore Dahl's descriptive language. The task then involves drawing Willy Wonka's factory based on the descriptions found in the text, encouraging students to visualize and interpret literary descriptions. They are also asked to enhance their drawings with direct quotations from the book, linking their artistic interpretations to the original text. The lesson concludes with a plenary where volunteers present their work, while the rest of the class engages in providing constructive feedback, promoting a collaborative and reflective learning environment.
