Teacher: Have you recognized this story? Do you know who wrote "Charlie and the chocolate factory"? (Of course Roald Dahl) T-P

Pupil 1 tells the biography of Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl was born at Villa Marie, Fairwater Road in Llandaff, Cardiff, Wales, in 1916, to Norwegian parents, Harald Dahl and Sofie Magdalene Dahl (née Hesselberg). Dahl's father had emigrated to the UK from Sarpsborg, Norway, and settled in Cardiff in the 1880s. His mother came over and married his father in 1911. Dahl was named after the polar explorer Roald Amundsen, a national hero in Norway at the time. He spoke Norwegian at home with his parents and his sisters Astri, Alfhild, and Else. Dahl and his sisters were christened at the Norwegian Church, Cardiff, where their parents worshipped.

Born in Wales to Norwegian parents, he served in the Royal Air Force during World War II. Dahl became one of the world's best-selling authors. He has been referred to as "one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century".His short stories are known for their unexpected endings, and his children's books for their unsentimental, often very dark, humour.

What do you think about the main characters of the film "Charlie and the chocolate factory"? How are they?
Pupils present their answers and compare their own answers with the pupils projects.

T - Cl

Pupil 1: He is depicted as a kind-hearted, poor boy that lives with his mother, father, and four bedridden grandparents. He has a newspaper route after school. He is curious and interested in Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory. He gets one chocolate bar a year for his birthday. He and his family follow the progress of the hunt for the Golden Tickets in newspapers and, in the films, on television. Unlike the first four of the Wonka kids, Charlie is honest, giving, sincere, and is willing to keep his family safe and cares about them.

Pupil 2: Veruca Salt is a ridiculously overindulged, selfish, bratty girl who is spoiled relentlessly by her wealthy parents. She is the second person to find a Golden Ticket, and lives in Buckinghamshire, England. Her father apparently owns the Salt's Peanuts shelling factory. Veruca frequently would bully and pester her parents to purchase a variety of different objects for her that grabbed her attention. When Veruca doesn't get what she wants immediately, she throws nasty tantrums and takes things to extreme measures until she finally has her way. Veruca is the third one ejected from the tour.

Pupil 3: Mike Teavee, 'a boy who does nothing but watch television', is the fourth Golden Ticket finder and the last child to be ejected from the tour. He is from Denver, Colorado. He plays video games and uses a complex method, involving consultation of the Nikkei Index, to find the Ticket.

Pupil 4: Violet Beauregarde, 'a girl who chews gum all day', is one of the Golden Ticket winners, from Atlanta, Georgia. Violet is the third child to find a Golden Ticket and the second to be ejected from the tour.

Pupil 5: Augustus Gloop is the first person to find a Golden Ticket. He hails from Düsseldorf, Germany. He is portrayed as being 'enormously fat' and also gluttonous. Augustus is the first child to be removed from the tour.

It is interesting, I think. A person's character plays an important role in our communication with friends, parents and other people. But when we meet a person for the first time we pay attention to his or her appearance. So we judge the person by appearance. Is it so? Let's talk about what people look like.

Ex: -What's Mary like?
