The Twits - Lesson 7: The Story so Far - PowerPoint

In Lesson 7 of 'The Twits', an English teaching resource, students delve into the narrative to solidify their understanding of the plot so far. The lesson objectives are clear: to demonstrate comprehension of the story's events. To achieve this, pupils are prompted with a series of questions about specific details within the story. They are asked to recall items found in the Twits' garden, the weekly routine Mr. Twit has for a tree, and the fate of four boys who climb that tree. Additionally, they explore the roles of the monkeys and the Roly-Poly Bird in the narrative, the Twits' intentions when they go to town, and the clever idea proposed by Muggle-Wump.

Students are provided with example answers to check their responses, ensuring they understand key plot points such as Mr. Twit's use of Hugtight glue on the tree to trap birds and the eventual escape of the boys by shedding their trousers. The lesson also involves a creative task where students are asked to transform a segment of the story into a comic strip. This activity not only reinforces their understanding of the plot but also encourages them to engage with the text in a visual and imaginative manner. The accompanying comprehension worksheet guides students through these exercises, prompting them to answer questions and craft their comic strip, thereby deepening their engagement with the text.
