Today we are going to be focusing on chapter 6 'Tip'. You can find the link for the chapter here:https://st-lukes-church-of-england-notts.primarysite.media/media/chapter-6-tip
Before you start to listen to chapter 6 I would like you to create a mind-map of the characters that we have met so far in 'Street Child'. Then edit your mind-map by editing it with the following:
- Which characters hold the most importance to the story?
- Why is this?
- Can you use part of the text to support your answer?
In Chapter 6, the author decides to introduce a new character- listen to the chapter and see if you can work out why this might be.
Listen to chapter 6.
- How does the author make Tip stand out as a character?
Work through the PowerPoint- remember to listen to the audio clips!
Activity:
Draw a picture of what you imagine Tip would look like. Label your picture using adjectives. Then under the following headings write about Tip:
- Personality- What type of personality does Tip have? Use evidence in the text to support your ideas.
- Background- What background do you think Tip has had? Why do you think he is in the workhouse? How long do you think he has been there for?
- Family- What do you think happened to his family? Did he have siblings?

Work through the PowerPoint below. This details the life of Alexander Graham Bell, from his early life towards the making of his invention and the legacy he has left.
Activity: Draw three telephones. The first telephone I would like you to draw is one of the first invented (similar to the one on the PowerPoint). I would then like you to draw a modern day phone. Finally, I would like you to draw a phone that you think will be made it 50 years time. Then write about:
- The similarities and differences between the first phone invented to the one that is popular today.
- The similarities and differences between the popular phone today to the one you predict will be made in 50 years time.
