Cirque Du Freak - Lesson 6 - Paired Reading Ch 4 to 6 PowerPoint

In Lesson Six of the English Teaching Resources, students delve into paired reading, focusing on chapters four to six of 'Cirque Du Freak'. The objective of this session is to track and explore the various characters' opinions regarding freak shows. This activity encourages students to engage critically with the text, examining different perspectives and possibly contrasting them with their own views. The lesson prompts students to consider whether they agree with any of the characters and to substantiate their opinions with evidence from the book.

During the lesson, students will look closely at the characters such as Steve, Mr Dalton, Darren's Mum, Darren himself, and any other character mentioned in the class, scrutinising their individual viewpoints on freak shows. This exercise not only aids in enhancing comprehension and analytical skills but also fosters empathy and understanding of diverse perspectives. By discussing and pairing up, students are expected to collaborate and share their insights, thus enriching the learning experience through collective exploration of the text.
