Carnival King by Sean Taylor
Next steps: find biographies of interest. Read texts closely to find evidence.
Ideas | |
| 1. | Ask pupils to read the introduction. Notice that the author says this is not a biography. Make a list of things you would expect to find out in a biography. Read Chapter 1 together. Find some facts about Angenor's life. |
| 2. | Ask pairs of children to read Chapter 4. Ask them to find proof that the family was poor and copy those sentences. Ask them to find a definition of a shanty town on page 31. |
| 3. | Ask pupils to read Chapter 10. Ask them to find out: How old was Angenor when his mother died? How did he get his nickname? How did Angenor become famous? Ask pupils to record the page numbers that have the answers. |
| 4. | Read the Story Background on pages 76-79. Find out where the author found his information. Ask pupils to use search engines to find out more, and add to the biography. |
