Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Lesson 5: Got the Plot? - PowerPoint

In Lesson Five of the English teaching resources titled "Got the Plot?", students are tasked with ensuring they understand the plot of the first seven chapters of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". The objective is to solidify their grasp of the story's events thus far. To achieve this, students are presented with a summary exercise where they must complete the narrative by filling in missing words, which helps them recap the key points. The Bucket family's impoverished state, their living conditions, Mr. Bucket's job and wage, the proximity to the Wonka chocolate factory, and the anticipation of a special opportunity to visit the factory are all elements of the storyline that the students are required to piece together.

The lesson also encourages creativity through a task where students create a comic strip version of the chapters covered. This visual activity aids in reinforcing the plot and allows students to express their understanding of the story in a different format. Additionally, the lesson suggests watching the opening part of the movie adaptation to help remember the plot, with an advisory note that the film differs from the novel. This multimedia approach caters to various learning styles, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the plot. A worksheet is provided for both the summary and the comic strip tasks, fostering an interactive and engaging learning experience.
