Billionaire Boy - Lesson 7 - In the Hotseat PowerPoint

An engaging English teaching resource titled 'Billionaire Boy - In the Hotseat' invites students to delve deep into the characters and plot of the novel 'Billionaire Boy'. In Lesson 7, the class is tasked with completing a table of events, which serves as a tracking tool for the key happenings and characters in each chapter. This interactive session encourages students to read and discuss Chapters 12 and 13 of the book, focusing on characters such as Joe, Bob, Mr Spud, and Lauren.

The 'In the Hotseat' activity is a dynamic role-playing exercise where students are split into groups and each member takes on the identity of one of the main characters from the novel. As they navigate through the events leading up to Chapter 13, they are prompted to answer a series of in-depth questions in character, offering insights into their thoughts and feelings. This activity not only enhances their understanding of the narrative but also allows them to explore the themes and relationships within the story. The lesson concludes with a plenary where volunteers have the opportunity to present their hotseating experience to the class, showcasing their comprehension and analytical skills.
