Road Dahl's "The Twits"

By César Martín Pisonero

In our 1st year of bilingual Compulsory Education, our students read Roal Dahl's "The Twits".

The main characters in this book are everything but neat people, so at the end of the year we prepare two activities:

1- They need to think of a disgusting recipe that only Mr and Mrs Twit would attempt to taste. Then, they take it down on a paper and they work in art class so as to produce it with art craft materials.

You can see an example here:

2- After having dealt with persuasive language, they need to produce a radio advert in order to convince potential buyers that these meals are the most appealing ever and that they really are missing out on a must-eat if they do not purchase them

Once all of this has been done, we exhibit their handcrafted recipes with a QR code that takes us to SOUND CLOUD, where listeners can access the adverts.
