This engaging and thought-provoking double-lesson resource aids students in developing a secure understanding of chapters 12 and 13 of Roald Dahl’s ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine.’ The chapters covered in these lessons are ‘Marvellous Medicine Number Two’ and ‘Marvellous Medicine Number 3.’

The lessons are guided by a comprehensive and colourful PowerPoint presentation, and enables students to understand the text through:
-Retrieving information;
-Inferring hidden meanings;
-Making predictions.

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.

There’s a lot in the session (17 slides in total) so I would recommend breaking into two lessons. The lessons are most suitable for children in upper key stage 1 or lower key stage 2, (they have been used in the past with children in years 2 and 3) but they could also be adapted for slightly older and younger year groups.
