Discussion based learning
In "The Armistice Runner," Lily harbours anxiety about her grandmother's well-being, fearing confusion or irritation. Her perspective on the importance of racing shifts, now placing family above the competition, influenced by her grandmother's struggles and Ernest's diary. A postcard from Thomas, a German soldier whose life Ernest saved, reveals he has named his son after his saviour. At the race's commencement, Lily is brimming with determination and the desire to triumph, her readiness amplified by her lineage and a vision of Ernest's silhouette spurring her on. After the race, Lily extends kindness to her competitor Abbie, echoing Fred's ethos of offering comfort to others.
