Matilda!

 Matilda - Roald Dahl 

What do you think the book will be about? 

Have you ever heard about Roald Dahl?

Roald Dahl is a very famous author. Perhaps you have watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Johnny Depp?

He is also the author of the book that we are going to read: Matilda.

1. First of all, work on your own and write down 5 words that you think of when you see the cover of the book.
2. Compare your words with your neighbour - which words are the same and which are not?
Be prepared to tell the whole class about your thoughts.

Computer rules: 

If I see that you play games and do things that are not related to school work, you have to hand in your computer to me and work in your notebook. 

Before we start reading - discuss the questions below with your neighbour. Take notes since I want you to be able to tell the whole class as well. 

1. Do you remember how old you were when you started reading?
2. What was the first book that you read and what was it about?
3. Do you remember your first day at school, when you were 6-7 years old? What happened and how did you feel?
 

Before reading! 

1. Quizlet / Quizlet live. We will take a look at some words that you will find in the text. 

First of all, work individually and if it works... we will try Quizlet live! 

2. I will read the first chapters to you. 

3. You listen and underline words you don't understand. 

4. Together we will collect words and I will help you understand them.
