The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night time Lesson 12 - PowerPoint

Lesson 12 of the educational resource for "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" provides a comprehensive set of activities designed to deepen students' understanding of the text. The lesson kicks off with a timed 'Do Now' activity, challenging students to complete various tasks in seven minutes. These tasks are differentiated by Bronze, Silver, and Gold challenges, which range from identifying true statements about the story to correcting false ones and answering questions related to the plot and characters. This structure not only tests students' recall of the narrative but also encourages critical thinking and attention to detail.

As the lesson progresses, students delve into specific chapters of the novel through a series of challenges that prompt them to examine the protagonist Christopher's likes and dislikes, particularly his aversion to the colours yellow and brown. These activities require students to analyze the text for evidence and to evaluate Christopher's reasoning, offering insights into his character and thought processes. The lesson also includes a segment where students are tasked with summarizing recent chapters through illustrations and captions, fostering creativity and synthesis of information. This multifaceted approach to learning caters to different learning styles and encourages a deeper engagement with the novel's themes and characters.
