The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Lesson 13 - Worksheet

In Lesson 13, students are given a worksheet that begins with an anagram unscrambling activity, which is directly tied to the narrative of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time." The task requires students to decipher a list of jumbled words, each of which holds significance to the protagonist, Christopher's journey and experiences within the story. This engaging warm-up exercise not only tests students' spelling and vocabulary skills but also encourages them to recall and connect key elements from the plot to the vocabulary presented.

Following the anagram challenge, the worksheet transitions to a learning review in the form of a crossword puzzle. This puzzle is designed to assess students' comprehension and retention of details from Chapters 149 and 151 of the novel. Students must answer a series of clues that reference specific events, characters, and settings within these chapters. By filling in the crossword, learners demonstrate their understanding of the text and ability to recall nuanced information, such as the location of Christopher's mother, the mathematical concept Christopher discusses, and various personal and environmental details he observes. This activity serves as both a review and a reinforcement of the students' knowledge of the narrative.
