Instructional Ideas
- Use one story at a time in reading assessments, warm-up activities, or homework assignments
- Have readers write their own questions about the short stories, including questions about theme and elements of a story
- Encourage individuals to discuss each story with a partner or in groups before answering the questions in a class activity
Classroom Considerations
- Many of the stories contain words and phrases that are specific to British vocabulary (lorry, neighbours, mummy)
- One of the stories references a character as the fat woman, which might offend some learners
Pros
- Stories are humorous and engaging
- Each activity would work well in a homework packet as a stand-alone assignment
- Comes with answer keys for each activity
Cons
- None
