Photocopy and cut up enough of RESOURCE 1 to enable each member of the class to have a card each. You will also need to provide each child with a copy of the question sheet.

BOOK THEME:

LESSON PLAN 4SENT BY TELEVISION



In association with

MAIN ACTIVITY: TV OR NOT TV?

Does anyone in the class agree with the Oompa-Loompas? (It is unlikely that anyone will wholeheartedly agree but you never know!) Does anyone agree in part? Give children two or three minutes to think of one reason for television and one reason against it. Share ideas and make a list on the board.

DEVELOPING THE ACTIVITY:

Explain that you are going to have a class debate. First, we must establish the rules of the debate. What suggestions do children have? (For example, one person speaks at a time, you must raise your hand to speak). Choose someone to control the debate.

Explain that the difference with this debate is that children are not going to represent themselves or even their own opinions, necessarily. Give out the cards in resource 1: TV OR NOT TV? CHARACTER CARDS. Children’s first job is to decide whether their character is for TV or against TV! Next, they must draft their argument. Give them some time to discuss ideas with a partner and write their notes on resource 2: TV OR NOT TV? THAT IS THE QUESTION! They may want to refer to the list compiled earlier for support.

Now you are ready to stage your debate!

Once over, discuss the debate. Did everyone stick to the rules and listen to one another? Did anyone change their opinion on hearing another’s point of view? Who do children think presented the strongest argument?

EXTENSION ACTIVITY:

The Oompa-Loompas are very clear that, much to their disgust, reading seems to be a thing of the past. Let’s imagine there is a call to get rid of books altogether. Invite children to write a short, persuasive piece presenting one side of the argument: they should either be for getting rid of books or against it.

PLENARY:

Go around the class asking children to come up with one suggestioneach for an activity that doesn’t involve screen time. Challenge themto see how many of these they can do over the coming week!

MIKE TEAVEE IS SENT BY TELEVISION(CHAPTER 27, PAGE 161-162)

“The most important thing we’ve learned,So far as children are concerned,Is never, NEVER, NEVER letThem near your television set –Or better still, just don’t installThe idiotic thing at all. In almost every house we’ve been,We’ve watched them gaping at the screen.They loll and slop and lounge about,And stare until their eyes pop out.(Last week in someone’s place we sawA dozen eyeballs on the floor.)They sit and stare and stare and sitUntil they’re hypnotized by it,Until they’re absolutely drunkWith all that shocking ghastly junk.Oh yes, we know it keeps them still,They don’t climb out the window sill,They never fight or kick or punch,They leave you free to cook the lunchAnd wash the dishes in the sink – But did you ever stop to think,To wonder just exactly whatThis does to your beloved tot?IT ROTS THE SENSES IN THE HEAD!IT KILLS IMAGINATION DEAD!IT CLOGS AND CLUTTERS UP THE MIND!IT MAKES A CHILD SO DULL AND BLINDHE CAN NO LONGER UNDERSTANDA FANTASY, A FAIRYLAND!HIS BRAIN BECOMES AS SOFT AS CHEESE!HIS POWERS OF THINKING RUST AND FREEZE!HE CANNOT THINK – HE ONLY SEES!“All right!” you’ll cry. “All right!” you’ll say,“But if we take the set away,What shall we do to entertainOur darling children! Please explain!”

We’ll answer this by asking you,“What used the darling ones to do?How used they keep themselves contentedBefore this monster was invented?”Have you forgotten? Don’t you know?We’ll say it very loud and slow:THEY ...USED ...TO ...READ!They’d READ and READ,And READ and READ, and then proceedTO READ some more. Great Scott! Gadzooks!One half their lives was reading books!
