<p>The lesson titled "The Revenge" is an English teaching resource that delves into the use of verbs to enhance writing skills. The class objective is to read up to the end of the section 'The Ravens Swoop Over' from the story 'The Twits' and to learn about the importance of verbs in storytelling. The lesson encourages students to consider the motives behind a character's actions, specifically why Muggle-Wump chooses to play a trick on the Twits instead of simply escaping with his family. This discussion is aimed at deepening the students' comprehension and analytical skills.</p>

<p>The lesson places a strong emphasis on identifying and understanding verbs as essential components of a sentence. Students are presented with examples of verbs in action within a narrative context, helping them to see how verbs convey action and add clarity to what is happening in the story. To reinforce this learning, students are tasked with spotting verbs in given sentences and then challenged to insert effective verbs into other sentences to improve the quality of writing. The lesson concludes with a speaking and listening activity where students read their sentences aloud, discuss their verb choices, and offer feedback on how the use of verbs can further enhance the narrative.</p>
