This engaging and informative lesson enables students to make precise interpretations regarding the ending in Michael Morpurgo’s ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom.’ In particular, children identify the features of successful endings, analyse these features in Chapter 10 of the story, and create their own logical, imaginative story endings.
The lesson follows a step-by-step learning journey, in which children learn through:
Storyboarding the key events of the text leading up to the ending;
Reading the ending of the story and answering comprehension questions to demonstrate their understanding;
Defining and identifying the key features of effective endings;
Analysing the effectiveness of the features that Morpurgo uses in his own ending;
Creating their own alternate ending, utilising the features that they have learnt over the course of the lesson;
Peer assessing each other’s learning attempts.
Included is:
Whole lesson PowerPoint - colourful and comprehensive;
Storyboard Template;
Story Detectives Worksheet;
Comprehensive Lesson Plan
