I will foster the appreciation of a writer's work. Students will be given a list of some of his works for children. Titles will include: Matilda, The BFG, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach. Students will get a chance to listen to excerpts from Roald Dahl's work be read out loud to them and note parts they like.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
I understand that Roald Dahl made controversial comments in his lifetime. For the purpose of this session, I wish to only focus on a age appropriate overview just to give students some context into an author's life. We will focus more on his craft as a children's novel writer. I will directly state the purpose. I will state behavior norms before I present the general overview of his life. I will not open the floor for comments to minimize the chance that a student may bring up aspects that I did not intent to explain. If a comment should steer the lesson to an undesirable direction, I intend to quickly remind students of my expectations.
