1. T shows the cover of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to Ss.
T will ask Ss to activate their background knowledge and
make predictions about what is going to happen in the book by
engaging in think pair share. Questions to ask to activate
background knowledge include:
- What is something you always look forward to and why?
(E.g. birthdays, Christmas, food, sport, seeing your family,
etc.).
- Is there something you like that is bad for you? (E.g. too
much candy will rot your teeth, too much television will
damage your eyesight, etc.).
1. T provides a book talk of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,
providing some information about the book, and creates
excitement in reading it.
2. Whilst looking at the cover, T will ask what kind of vocabulary
might be important in understanding the book? These words
will be explored using a word map. Words to discuss include:
- Chocolate
- Factory
- Inventing/inventor
3. T distributes individual copies of book and engages in shared
reading by reading the first chapter aloud to Ss, modeling
fluent reading. T will pause at appropriate moments during the
reading to think aloud and encourage Ss to make predictions.
4. After reading, T asks questions about what was read to
assess Ss comprehension.
5. A schedule for reading and discussion will be set. An
agreement will be made that for homework, Ss will read the
