Grade 4 | Myrtle

This term Grade 4 completed an English novel study on Matilda. The unit included reading the novel together, analysing the vocabulary within the text, and focusing on the different elements of narrative structure including setting, characters, action, problem, resolution. Each student completed a book review and also planned and wrote their own narrative. We completed the unit by watching the film Matilda together.
