The 13-Storey Treehouse - Session 2 - Chapters 3 and 4 - Worksheet

In the second session of 'The 13-Storey Treehouse', students delve into Chapters 3 and 4 with a series of discussion questions that probe into the narrative's unfolding events. They explore who might be behind Silky's mysterious disappearance, the reasons behind Mr Big Nose's anger, and whether Andy's promise to complete the book by the next day was a wise commitment. These questions aim to enhance reading comprehension and critical thinking, aligning with specific reading standards.

The session also includes a variety of reading and writing activities. Students continue their character analysis for Andy, Terry, and Jill, enhancing their understanding of the characters' traits and motivations. Additionally, they tackle a reading comprehension exercise and embark on a grammar hunt, which involves identifying and understanding the use of direct speech, apostrophes for contraction, commas in lists, and conjunctions. The 'Words to Workshop' section encourages students to engage with vocabulary such as 'especially', 'technically', and 'definitely', among others. Writing opportunities present creative tasks like composing a persuasive letter to Mr Big Nose and designing a missing cat poster. The session is enriched with cross-curricular links, touching on subjects such as science, computing, history, geography, art, design and technology, music, physical education, religious education, and personal, social, health, and economic education. These activities not only consolidate language skills but also connect literary themes with broader educational contexts.
