Good morning, Year 6! 🌟 Today, we're diving deep into the world of Louis Sachar's novel "Holes." But before we start discussing the characters and themes, let's embark on an exciting mystery!
Setup: As you enter the classroom, you'll each find an envelope on your desk. Inside the envelope is a mysterious letter with incomplete sentences. These sentences are key clues to an undiscovered treasure hidden in the story of "Holes."
Read the Letter: Gather around and take a moment to read the letter. Pay attention to the missing words that need to be filled in.
Example of a clue:
"Beneath the _ tree, the treasure lies hidden, waiting for the to discover the truth."
Fill in the Blanks: In pairs, discuss and write down your guesses for the missing words. Think about what you know from the book or imagine what might fit!
After you've filled in your blanks, we’ll come together as a class to share your ideas. What do you think the treasure might be? How can the themes of friendship, fate, and perseverance be tied to what you found?
Now that we've sparked some imaginations, let's talk about how you will create your own adventure inspired by "Holes." Using the clues from the mysterious letter, you will each write a short story that includes a treasure hunt, characters similar to those we’ve read about, and a lesson learned along the way.
