The Snow Spider - Session 8 - Reading Comprehension

In the eighth session of 'The Snow Spider' reading comprehension, students are presented with a series of questions designed to delve deeper into the story's plot and character dynamics. The questions range from exploring the doctor's confusion about the character Eirlys, to understanding the connection between Eirlys and another character named Bethan. Students are prompted to consider why Gwyn attributes a storm and its resulting damage to himself, and what makes the cobwebs in the story unique.

Further inquiries encourage students to think about the actions of the protagonist, Gwyn, such as his methods for bringing back Arianwen and his reasons for taking Arianwen up the mountain. The session also includes a question about Alun's desire to speak with Gwyn, hinting at pivotal interactions within the narrative. To conclude the comprehension exercise, students are tasked with summarising the session in no more than 50 words, challenging them to capture the essence of the plot development and key events succinctly.
