Post SA1 Activity 1: Matilda


Yeah! SA1 is over!
After studying very hard for the mid-year assessment, it is finally time to relax a little :)
For post exam activity, our class watched the movie: Matilda.
Matilda is a children novel written by Roald Dahl (illustrated by Quentin Blake).
Roald Dahl is also the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Here are the pre-movie questions:
1) What special power does Matilda have?
2) Who is Matilda's best friend?
3) Who believes in Matilda?

The following is a website link to the novel Matilda:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matilda_%28novel%29
And here is an online word puzzle on Matilda! Try it!
http://www.armoredpenguin.com/crossword/Data/2009.08/1013/10133858.367.html

Here are the post-movie discussions:
1) Who is your favourite character in the story? Why?
2) Which is your favourite part of the show? Why?
3) What lesson(s) can you learn from the story?

Let's get into our English project groups to discuss these questions.
I look forward to your comments! Enjoy!

    Laraine, Bi Mei and Kai Ting mentioned 'psychokinesis' in their answers. It means to use the mind power to move an object. Good job, girls!
