Teacher’s notes

Greeting

The teacher greets students; students respond to greeting and take their places.

Hello, boys and girls! How are you?

Be curious

• Focus attention on the photo of the girl on page 82. Ask students to describe what they can see.

• Put students into pairs and give them a couple of minutes to answer the three questions.

• Ask two or three students to report back to the class on what their partner said about the photo. Have a class discussion about the differences between the Victorian times and today.

• You can extend the discussion by asking students to imagine they lived in the Victorian era. What would they enjoy about their life?

What would they dislike.

Suggested answers

This photo was probably taken about 100 years ago before coloured photography was invented.

Her dress and hair look different from how girls dress today.

Some boys would not go to school but had to work at an early age.

Warm up

• On the board, draw a simple mill (a big house like a farm with a wheel on its side) and two stick figures; a boy and girl.

• Write the title of the book above the picture: The Mill on the Floss. Explain what a mill is (a building where they used to grind grains to make flour) and that Floss is the name of a river.

• Give students a minute to think about and predict the plot. Help them by asking: What are the main characters’ names? What’s the relationship between them? What’s their life like? etc.

• Put students in pairs or small groups to share their ideas. Monitor and help as necessary.

Practice

Ex1 Ask students to read the biography quickly to find out who wrote The Mill on the Floss.

• Elicit the answer and ask students what they found interesting about the author’s life. Make sure they understand the concept of a pen name, i.e. a name the writer uses instead of his/her real name.

• Give students two minutes to complete the fact sheet.

• Students can compare their answers in pairs before you check answers with the class on the board.

Background

Writers have used and continue to use a pen name for a number of reasons. For instance, they might want to ...

• use a more interesting name.

• avoid confusion with other famous people with the same name.

• avoid disappointing their fans if they change genres (e.g. a scifi writer writing a romance novel).

• write for a different publisher.

• present themselves as a different writer when their first book fails.
