Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Lesson 8: Loompaland - PowerPoint

Lesson Eight of the English teaching resources, titled 'Loompaland', delves into Chapter 16 of Roald Dahl's classic, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. In this lesson, students are tasked with reading and discussing the chapter to gain insights into the Oompa-Loompas and their homeland, Loompaland. The lesson objectives include exploring the landscape of Loompaland, identifying the beasts that inhabit it, understanding where the Oompa-Loompas resided and why, learning about their diet, and the food they yearned for. Additionally, students examine the offer made by Willy Wonka and how he transported the Oompa-Loompas to England.

The lesson continues with a focus on character analysis, specifically on Augustus Gloop, through reading Chapters 17 and 18. Students are encouraged to form an impression of Augustus based on Roald Dahl's descriptions, dialogue, and actions associated with the character. They are asked to consider whether Augustus is portrayed as a good or bad character, supported by evidence from the text. The lesson includes activities where students match up words with their definitions and write a paragraph using sentence starters, explaining how Dahl uses different literary techniques to present Augustus Gloop. The plenary session involves sharing their paragraphs and discussing the character with the rest of the class to conclude the lesson.
