Billionaire Boy - Lesson 5 - Lunch Time PowerPoint

The 'Billionaire Boy' lesson plan, designed for a lively English class, focuses on the engaging task of reading and discussing chapters 7 to 9 of the book. The lesson's objectives are to foster an understanding of the plot and to encourage creative expression among students. One of the key activities includes the creation of an imaginative lunch menu for the school canteen, featured in Chapter 7, where the infamous Mrs Trafe's culinary skills leave much to be desired. Students are encouraged to use their creativity to devise either delicious or repulsive dishes, with an emphasis on using effective adjectives to bring their menus to life.

Another interactive element of the lesson involves students summarising the story through the medium of a comic strip. After exploring Chapter 10, where the protagonist Joe confides in Mrs Trafe, the students are tasked with creating a six-part comic strip that captures the essence of the narrative. This activity not only reinforces comprehension of the text but also allows students to practice storytelling in a visual format. The lesson aims to help students connect with the main character, Joe, who, despite his wealth, struggles with loneliness and fitting in at school. By engaging with the text in these creative ways, students develop a deeper understanding of the characters and plot while honing their artistic and literary skills.
