The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Lesson 4 - Worksheet

In Lesson Four of the study on "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time," students are prompted to engage with a 'Do Now Activity' that serves as an immediate starter. They are presented with a series of images that are directly linked to elements they have come across in the novel thus far. The task requires students to draw connections between the images and the story, stimulating their analytical and interpretive skills. This activity not only serves as a warm-up but also reinforces their understanding and recall of the narrative and its details.

Following the visual activity, the lesson shifts focus to Chapter 23, titled "What’s in Christopher’s Pocket?" Students are tasked with reading a list of items that the protagonist, Christopher, carries in his pocket. The exercise involves labelling each item and discussing what these items reveal about Christopher's character, habits, and the context of his experiences. This part of the worksheet encourages students to delve deeper into character analysis and make inferences based on textual evidence. The lesson concludes with a Learning Review, where students revisit content from Chapters 19-31, once again using images to connect with specific events or themes from the novel, thereby reinforcing their comprehension and retention of the material.
