服務說明
In the deadly chaos of the First World War, one horse witnesses the reality of battle from both sides of the trenches. Bombarded by artillery, with bullets knocking riders from his back, Joey tells a powerful story of the truest friendships surviving in terrible times. One horse has the seen the best and the worst of humanity. The power of war and the beauty of peace. This is his story. War Horse was adapted by Steven Spielberg as a major motion picture with Jeremy Irvine, Emily Watson, and Benedict Cumberbatch. The National Theatre production opened in 2007 and has enjoyed successful runs in the West End and on Broadway. A great way of introducing young readers to the realities of WWI. War Horse is a story of universal suffering for a universal audience by a writer who ‘has the happy knack of speaking to both child and adult readers’ (The Guardian). Michael Morpurgo has written more than one hundred books for children and won the Whitbread Award, the Smarties Award, the Circle of Gold Award, the Children’s Book Award and has been short-listed for the Carnegie Medal four times. In this unit, and with the help of this engaging narrative, we will explore several key literature concepts in detail. Please find our unit outline below: Lesson 1: WWI context and introduction to the book Lesson 2: Chapters 1-4 Inferencing (reading homework) Lesson 3 - Chapter 5 - vocabulary and parts of speech Lesson 4 - Introducing internal and external conflict (reading homework) Lesson 5 - Chapter 9 - Character attitudes Lesson 6 - Chapter 10 - Relationships Lesson 7 - Chapter 11 - How to deal with unfamiliar vocabulary Lesson 8 - Finishing the book (reading homework) Lesson 9 - Reviewing key unit concepts Lesson 10 - Constructing our literature essay All learning will be consolidated with lesson feedback reports which outline the key features of the lesson, ensuring that the knowledge gained can be reviewed and revisited at the child's pleasure. Places are strictly limited to four students to ensure class quality so book early to avoid disappointment. Once you have booked onto the course, please send an email to contact@mlukenglish.com with your child's name and age. I can't wait to get started, see you there!
