Roald dahl biography planning

In June 2000 I received an email from Andrew Ferguson, a final year teaching student in Drama and English at the University of NSW, Sydney, Australia. Andrew used my site in part of his teacher training and sought to repay the favor by sending me the extensive unit he prepared on Boy.

I’ll let him explain it to you:

“The task was to create a 4 week block, 5 lessons per week, 50 mins per lesson unit of work. In addition to the unit I had to provide 5 detailed lesson plans, and a resource folder containing 3-5 items related to those lesson plans (here they are the assignment criteria, the autobiography scaffold and the Matilda and Boy comparative question).

In addition there is a condensed version of the first lesson, presented as a 20 minute microteaching spiel. The class it is addressed to is a year 8, mixed gender, mixed ability group.

I apologise for the format of the unit plan.
