Charlotte's Web - Lesson 12: Language Analysis - Check Your Understanding

In Lesson 12 of the English Teaching Resources for "Charlotte's Web," students are encouraged to delve deeper into the language used by E.B. White to convey different atmospheres and character perspectives. The lesson includes a "Check Your Understanding" worksheet, prompting students to engage critically with the text and support their answers with evidence from the book. Questions explore how White creates a sense of fun during the fair scenes, Charlotte's thoughts on Uncle as a competitor to Wilbur, her opinion of Uncle, the condition of Charlotte following Wilbur's meet and greet, and the overall feelings of the characters after their time at the fun fair.

The worksheet serves as a tool for assessing comprehension and analytical skills, as students must not only recall events from the story but also interpret the author's use of language and characterisation. By considering Charlotte's viewpoint and the portrayal of the fair's atmosphere, students gain a deeper understanding of the narrative and the techniques employed by White to bring his story to life. This exercise is part of a broader set of resources aimed at enhancing students' appreciation of literature and their ability to express insights clearly and with textual support.
