I �m wondering if any teachers out there have a few suggestions for activities with my students?

 

My advanced class (8 learners ranging between the ages of 16 and 33) is reading Matilda (Roald Dahl) and at the moment we �re tackling it chapter by chapter.

 

The activites and tasks I �ve had the students do along the way include keeping and updating a character sheet about the main character, Matilda; summarising the chapters as we go in various shapes and forms - sometimes a full paragraph, sometimes only a single sentence and the most recent task (we �re on chapter 3) had the students read chapter 3 (at home) and come up with 5 questions about everything we �ve read so far which will be a classroom activity come Monday.

 

Has anyone got any other interesting activities/tasks/games etc that I can tie in with this reading exercise?  We �re also covering the obvious discussions about the book and the characters and writing style etc as well as pronunciation when reading aloud. 

 

Would appreciate any ideas:)

 

Thanks in advance.
