The Twits - Lesson 9: The End - PowerPoint

Lesson 9 of an English teaching resource focuses on the final chapter of Roald Dahl's 'The Twits', with the aim of enhancing students' comprehension and creative skills. The objectives of the lesson are two-fold: firstly, to read to the end of the book and test students' understanding of the story, and secondly, to design a new book cover for the classic tale. Students delve into discussion topics such as the fate of the Twits and whether it was deserved, as well as the outcome for Muggle-Wump and his family. These conversations encourage critical thinking and personal interpretation of the narrative's resolution.

Following the reading and discussion, students engage in a summarisation activity, filling in the blanks on provided worksheets to recount the plot's key events. This exercise helps solidify their grasp of the story's climax and denouement. Additionally, students are tasked with creating a comic strip that captures the essence of the book's ending, allowing them to express their understanding through visual storytelling. To culminate the lesson, students are invited to imagine themselves as designers, challenged with the creative task of crafting a new book cover for 'The Twits'. This includes adding the title, author's name, a captivating front cover illustration, publisher logo, and a blurb and pricing information for the back cover, thereby integrating artistic design with literary appreciation.
