Intended Learning.
By the end of this lesson students will be able to:
Analyse the character of the story, and describe their actions. They will
also be able to interpret the literary devices like the imagery, simile and
onomatopoeia in the text. The grammar of the text should also be clear to
them for instance the noun, pronoun, tenses and interaction skills
possible with the language. The children will most importantly be able to
relate the character Toby and feel his grief. They would also be able to
compare the characters with other similar texts and have a perspective
on the topic. By the end of the lesson, they will learn a story which will
help them to understand the presence of various challenges and how to
deal with it, just the way Toby does when his sister died. The students will
also be able to know the extreme condition of emotions that one has to
face in a lifetime – grief, love, belongingness and other.

Materials and resources:
The materials and resources utilised for this unit is the picture book Leave
Taking by Lorraine Marwood. Other than that, classroom posters for the
picture book Taking Leave should be brought to class. A chart will also be
helpful where the various literary devices will be discussed with examples.
Another chart focusing on the grammar that will be taught in the
classroom should be discussed. Phoneme charts would also be helpful
which will help the students to learn the words effectively.
Lesson Steps
