The Hodgeheg - Session 2 - Reading Comprehension

In the second session of "The Hodgeheg" reading comprehension, students delve deeper into the story's events and the protagonist Max's adventures. The session poses questions about key plot points, such as what occurs when Max attempts to cross the road using a zebra crossing, the cause of his injury, and the reason behind his excessive sleeping. It also explores Max's motivations and the protective instincts of his father, Pa, who prefers Max to stay safe within the confines of their garden.

Further inquiry is made into Max's determination to find a secure crossing for hedgehogs and his strategic timing, waiting for Pa to be distracted before venturing back onto the street. The session culminates with an exercise that challenges students to concisely summarize the events of session two in no more than 50 words, encouraging them to distil the essence of the story while demonstrating comprehension and brevity in their writing.
