Charlotte's Web - Lesson 11: Templeton - PowerPoint

In Lesson Eleven of the English teaching resources for 'Charlotte's Web', the focus is on the character of Templeton. The objectives are to read and discuss Chapter Sixteen of the book, with a particular emphasis on understanding Templeton's character traits. Students are encouraged to engage with the plot and characters, delving deeper into the story by reading to the end of the specified chapter. This lesson aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Templeton's role within the narrative and his interactions with other characters.

Further exploring Templeton's character, students are tasked with a creative activity to design a blog page for the cunning rat. They are prompted to consider what kind of information Templeton might share on his blog, given his selfish and mean-spirited nature. The blog posts could reflect his penchant for complaints, self-centredness, and rudeness, which likely results in a lack of followers or friends. Students can also list his likes and dislikes to add depth to his online persona. To ensure a constructive learning environment, volunteers read their blog entries aloud, and the group is encouraged to offer constructive criticism, highlighting strengths and suggesting areas for improvement.
