Charlotte's Web - Lesson 5: Charlotte - PowerPoint

In Lesson Five of the English teaching resources, students delve into the character of Charlotte from the beloved book "Charlotte's Web". The lesson's objectives are to read and discuss chapters five and six, with a particular focus on understanding Charlotte's character. Students are encouraged to think critically about the text and to use evidence from the book to deduce qualities about Charlotte's personality. A specific quotation, "Charlotte was to prove loyal and true to the very end," serves as a starting point for discussion, prompting students to infer what this reveals about her character.

The lesson continues with an exploration of the plot and characters, as students read through the specified chapters. They are tasked with using their own words, alongside phrases from the text, to describe Charlotte's appearance and personality, offering a deeper insight into her role in the story. Furthermore, the students are given a creative assignment to create a storyboard that retells the events of chapters five and six, which includes the moment when Wilbur makes a new friend called Charlotte. This activity not only reinforces their understanding of the narrative but also allows them to engage with the material in a visual and imaginative way.
