Fantastic Mr Fox - Lesson 3 - Mr Fox PowerPoint

In the third lesson of a series on 'Fantastic Mr Fox', students are encouraged to delve deeper into the character of Mr Fox by reading chapters two and three of the book. The objectives of the lesson are to make predictions based on the text and to discuss the Fox family in more detail. As students read, they are prompted to think critically about the story, the dynamics between the farmers and Mr Fox, and to form their own interpretations of the characters and plot developments.

After reading the specified chapters, students are tasked with jotting down everything they learn about Mr Fox, focusing on his characteristics, actions, and the reasons why the farmers have an issue with him. The lesson guides students to explore Mr Fox's personality and motives, especially in relation to the actions of the farmers, Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. To solidify their understanding, students are asked to write a paragraph about Mr Fox, with sentence starters provided to help structure their thoughts. The plenary session offers an opportunity for volunteers to read their work aloud, while the rest of the class is encouraged to offer constructive feedback. The lesson is designed to foster analytical thinking, improve comprehension, and enhance writing skills, all within the engaging context of a beloved children's story.
