The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Lesson 9 - Worksheet

Lesson Nine of the teaching plan for 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time' begins with a 'Do Now Activity' designed to engage students' analytical and predictive skills. In this activity, learners are presented with a series of images, labelled A through I, and are tasked with identifying which images relate to events they have read about in the book so far. They must explain the connections they see. Additionally, they are encouraged to use their imaginations to determine which images could symbolise potential future events in the story and to articulate their reasoning behind these predictions.

The lesson continues with a 'Learning Review' section, which prompts students to reflect on their understanding of the text. They are given space to write down their thoughts, likely about key themes, character development, or plot points that have emerged in the story up to this point. The worksheet then challenges students to synthesise their understanding of the narrative by transforming events from Chapters 83 to 97 into three separate images. For each image created, students must provide explanations that connect the visual representation to the specific chapter content, demonstrating their comprehension of the text and their ability to convey complex ideas through visual media.
