Charlotte's Web - Lesson 8: Charlotte's Message - PowerPoint

Lesson 8, titled "Charlotte's Message," is part of an English teaching resource that delves into the classic children's novel "Charlotte's Web." The lesson's objectives are to read and discuss chapters eleven and twelve of the book, with a particular focus on understanding the plot and the characters Edith and Homer Zuckerman, as well as Lurvy. The lesson aims to enhance comprehension and encourage thoughtful discussion among the students about the events and the characters' reactions to Charlotte's message.

During the lesson, students are tasked with creating a quiz to test their classmates' knowledge and understanding of the book up to the current point. This interactive activity not only reinforces what they've learned but also prepares them for the detailed exploration of the characters. Students are then asked to choose one of the three characters—Edith, Homer, or Lurvy—and complete a character profile. This involves gathering information about the character's name, personality, appearance, and key quotations. The lesson provides a structured worksheet to help students organise their findings and present a comprehensive character profile. Finally, students partner up to share and learn from each other's profiles, further enriching their insights into the novel's characters.
