The Worlds Worst Children - Lesson 4 - Windy Mindy Worksheet

In this lesson, students explore the character of Windy Mindy from "The World's Worst Children." Mindy is known for her disruptive 'outbursts' in class, which are so loud or smelly that they often lead to the evacuation of the classroom. As a result, she frequently finds herself being sent to the headmistress's office for discipline. On one particular morning, the headmistress expresses her extreme disappointment with Mindy, noting that it is only Tuesday and already Mindy has been sent to her twelve times that week. Despite Mindy's insincere apology and smirk, the headmistress recounts the recent disturbances, including an incident where Mindy's noise disrupted a maths lesson and another where her history teacher fainted from the odour and had to be taken to sickbay.

The headmistress demands an explanation from Mindy, but instead of showing remorse, Mindy has an 'evil thought' and releases another sound, followed by a 'pongtastic aroma' that fills the room. This prompts the headmistress to cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and, in her frustration, she calls Mindy a 'wicked child' and orders her to leave the office immediately. Mindy, unable to contain her amusement, stifles a giggle as she is told to get out, exemplifying her mischievous and unruly behaviour that is a constant challenge for her teachers and the headmistress.
