Billionaire Boy - Lesson 6 - What About Bob PowerPoint

In the sixth lesson of a series on 'Billionaire Boy', an English teaching resource guides students through an exploration of the character Bob. The objective of the lesson is to read and discuss Chapters 10 and 11 of the book, delving into the plot, characters, and emerging themes. Students are encouraged to think critically about Bob's character, using their own words as well as phrases from the text to describe him. The lesson is designed to help students engage with the text on a deeper level, fostering analytical skills and a greater understanding of character development.

The lesson includes a worksheet where students are tasked with describing Bob, supported by quotations from the text. Sentence starters are provided to help structure their responses. Additionally, students are invited to step into Bob's shoes and write a diary entry from his perspective, using the key features of effective diary writing such as first-person narrative, vivid descriptions, and expression of personal thoughts and feelings. The main events, relationships with other characters, and Bob's internal reflections up to Chapter 11 are to be included in the diary entry. The lesson concludes with a plenary where volunteers can read their diary entries aloud, and the class can offer constructive feedback, promoting collaborative learning and peer assessment.
