In the lessons following, the grade 9 students have answered set questions as part of class and home work. The teacher has clarified any misconceptions that they may have in relationship to the characters especially the Buntings and Mr Sleuth in a whole class discussion. The students have considered the place that the Buntings have within the social hierarchy of London of the time. They are servants, and as the reader, we have to delve into that psyche, of what would be proper/not proper for the Buntings, and Mrs Bunting in particular toward Mr Sleuth.
This has led on to the students doing a gallery walk, coming up with quotes from the novel that reflect a deeper understanding of the relationships and motifs within the novel. Class, saviour, luck etc.
The teacher and I have discussed the calendar for the rest of the Unit, including my suggestions for lessons I will teach,which will see the students creating a digital narrative of The Lodger. A senior student has been asked to give a tutorial for the grade 9's on using Photo story and movie maker.
