Pine Level Students Study Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Pine Level Students Study Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Mrs. Mooney’s 5th grade class at Pine Level Elementary School ended their novel study on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with their own Golden Ticket finding, accompanied by a movie and book comparison! After students used this familiar novel to focus on identifying literary skills such as: types of characters, conflicts, determining themes, and so much more, each student had the chance to experience Charlie Bucket’s perspective of finding the Golden Ticket as they opened their own Wonka Bar. At the end of their own Golden Ticket finding, students compared and contrasted the classic novel to the movie.
