The Last Bear - Session 8 - My Questions

The eighth session of "The Last Bear" is an interactive and imaginative activity designed for KS2 students, where they are encouraged to engage directly with the character of Bear by contemplating what questions they would ask if they could communicate with him. This creative exercise not only deepens their connection to the story but also fosters critical thinking and empathy as they consider the perspective of Bear. Students are prompted to record their questions in speech bubbles provided, which adds a visual and fun element to the learning experience, allowing them to visualize a dialogue with Bear.

This activity serves as a unique opportunity for children to explore their curiosity and develop their inquiry skills. By formulating questions for Bear, they practice how to structure questions and express their thoughts clearly. It's an exercise that not only enhances their understanding of the narrative and characters but also encourages them to think about the broader themes and messages within the story. Whether their questions are about Bear's feelings, experiences, or the challenges he faces, this task is an engaging way for students to delve deeper into the world of the book and reflect on the story's impact.
