The Falcon's Malteser - Session 4 - Reading Comprehension

In Session 4 of "The Falcon's Malteser" reading comprehension, the Diamond Brothers face a series of questions that delve into the plot's intricacies. They find themselves taken into custody, and the reasons behind their arrest are probed. The descriptive language used to depict characters, such as Snape's 'pig-like' eyes, offers insight into their appearances and perhaps their personalities. The origins of Johnny Naples and the widespread fascination with the diamonds are also explored. Nick's decision to keep certain information about the Maltesers secret from Snape is questioned, leading to an examination of his motives. The session concludes with Snape's rationale for releasing Nick, and students are tasked with summarising the events of this session succinctly in no more than 50 words.

Throughout this session, students are encouraged to think critically about the text, piecing together the narrative while interpreting descriptive language and character actions. The questions serve to deepen their understanding of the story's dynamics and the motivations of its characters. This comprehension exercise not only tests their recall of the story's details but also their ability to express these details concisely and coherently.
