Summary for lesson 1:
What did we cover?
Students gave introductions (name, age, favourite book)
Introduced the book group and discussed what we will be working on together (i.e. the aims being to read, understand, and enjoy the books as much as possible through discussing our
ideas as a group)
Covered the first 14 chapters (looking at different VIPERS and giving some one word summaries)
Discussed some general points about the book as a whole (i.e. what do the illustrations add to the book, and how is humour created)

Home work after lesson 1:
Using The Twits as inspiration, write the first paragraph of a story titled ‘The Darlings’ in the style of Roald Dahl.
Think about how you will introduce the characters of ‘the darlings’, and how you will capture the reader’s attention.
Or
Summarise the first half of the book in 4 sentences or one short paragraph

Teacher’s Reading task and VIPERS questions for lesson 2 to be discussed on 2nd Lesson
