English Year 7 - The Witches

Discussion in groups about the Witches

We have read parts of the novel the Witches by Roald Dahl. Now we are going to watch the film together in class.

After we have watched the film you are going to take part in a group discussion. 

Below you find some questions that you will be asked. Each group will answer different questions. During the discussion you will be responsible for a question, which means that you will also ask your friends about it and make sure everyone in your group speaks.
