Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Lesson 7: Meeting Mr. Wonka - PowerPoint

In Lesson Seven of an English teaching resource, students delve into the world of Roald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," focusing on the enigmatic character of Willy Wonka. The lesson's objective is to develop students' knowledge and understanding of how Dahl presents this iconic character. Students begin by making predictions about the feelings and possible events as Charlie and Grandpa Joe gear up for their visit to the factory at the start of Chapter 13. They are encouraged to consider the characters' emotions and speculate on the unfolding story within the factory walls.

After reading up to the end of Chapter 14, students are tasked with compiling everything they have learned about Willy Wonka, thereby building a comprehensive profile of the character. The lesson prompts them to note down their first impressions of Mr. Wonka, including his attire, what he says, and how he acts. To consolidate their understanding, students are asked to write a paragraph about Willy Wonka, using provided sentence starters to help structure their thoughts. The plenary session offers an opportunity for students to share their paragraphs with the class, receive feedback, and discuss ways to enhance their writing. This interactive approach not only engages students with the text but also hones their analytical and creative writing skills.
