The Giant's Necklace by Michael Morpurgo

In this lesson, we will find out the author of the book we will be studying and the name of the book. We will make inferences by looking at the front cover. We will learn some key vocabulary and then read the first couple of paragraphs.

In this lesson, we will read the opening part of The Giant's Necklace. We will look to understand the main character's personality by analysing language and a conversation between the main character and her mother.

In this lesson, we will read the next part of the story. We will focus on exploring character and looking at language.

In this lesson, we will read the next part of the story and form an impression of the setting. We will also make a prediction of what is going to happen next.

In this lesson, we will consider what part of the story we are up to. We will then read the next part of the story and consider whether our predictions were correct.
