This engaging and thought-provoking double-lesson resource aids students in developing a secure understanding of the chapters 9 to 10 of Morris Gleitzman’s 'Once.’ In this section of the text, Felix and Zelda are saved by Barney and live in a cellar in hiding from the Nazis.
The comprehensive and colourful PowerPoint presentation enables students to understand the text through:
-Retrieving information;
-Inferring and deducing hidden meanings;
-Empathising with characters.
The sessions include a range of retrieval, vocabulary, inference, explanation and deeper thinking activities. A clear, colourful and comprehensive PowerPoint presentation guides students through the learning.
This lesson has a particular focus on empathising with characters. Students explore this firstly through a ‘hot-seating’ activity, and then through plotting Felix’s feelings and emotions on a ‘Morale Graph’ (the worksheet/template for which is provided in both Word and PDF).
There’s a lot in the session (20 slides in total) so I would recommend breaking into two lessons. The lessons are most suitable for students in upper KS2, but may be adapted for other year groups, depending upon the individual context of the school and students.
