Fantastic Mr Fox - Lesson 4 - The Story so Far PowerPoint

Delve into the world of "Fantastic Mr Fox" with an engaging PowerPoint lesson designed to ensure students have a solid understanding of the story so far. The lesson objectives are clear: to verify comprehension, to encourage dictionary use for unfamiliar words, and to learn about adjectives. Students are prompted to answer questions about the first four chapters, such as detailing facts about each farmer, describing where the Fox family resides, and explaining the farmers' animosity towards the foxes. These questions aim to test students' recall and understanding of the narrative and characters introduced by Roald Dahl.

Building on reading comprehension, the lesson places a strong emphasis on vocabulary development and the use of adjectives. Students are tasked with identifying words they're unfamiliar with and using a dictionary to find their meanings, thereby expanding their lexicon. Additionally, the lesson explores the role of adjectives in enriching descriptions, providing examples and exercises for students to spot and use adjectives effectively. Through interactive activities, such as inserting adjectives into sentences and discussing their choices in a speaking and listening segment, students enhance their descriptive writing skills while gaining a deeper appreciation of Roald Dahl's storytelling.
