<p>In the second lesson focusing on 'The Twits', students are encouraged to engage their imaginations and artistic skills by drawing a picture of Mr. Twit. This activity is based solely on the descriptive details provided in the first three chapters of the book, ensuring that the students' interpretations are rooted in the text. After carefully reading these initial chapters, students are tasked with bringing Mr. Twit to life on paper, paying close attention to the characteristics and features that define his unique appearance as described by the author.</p>

<p>Once the students have completed their illustrations, they are instructed to further embellish their artwork by labelling the drawing. These labels should consist of words and phrases directly extracted from the book, allowing the students to demonstrate their understanding of the text and how it informs their visual representation of Mr. Twit. This exercise not only helps students to consolidate their reading comprehension but also encourages them to explore the relationship between text and imagery, enhancing their overall appreciation of the story's richly crafted characters.</p>
