The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Lesson 5 - Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to complement Lesson 5 of a study on "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time". It begins with a series of comprehension questions that delve into specific details from the book, such as the breed of dog named Wellington, the highest prime number that the protagonist, Christopher, knows, the duration for which he hugged Wellington after discovering the dog deceased, the colour of Siobhan’s hair, and Christopher's age during his interaction with the police inspector. These questions aim to test students' recall and understanding of the narrative so far.

In addition to the comprehension questions, the worksheet incorporates "Five a Day" tasks, encouraging students to engage with all the tasks presented. To stretch their abilities further, "Bonus Numeracy Challenges" are included, which blend mathematics with the context of the story. These challenges include identifying non-prime numbers from a given list, performing division with the number of attachments on Christopher's Swiss army knife, and multiplying the amount of money Christopher has, as mentioned in Chapter 23. The worksheet concludes with a "Learning Review" section, where students use a provided code to decipher and identify three main points from the lesson, promoting both literacy and problem-solving skills.
