Reading | Novel Study

 A novel study finds out information about a novel or a story, and analyses that information to develop a persons literature skill and understanding of the story. 

This novel study is based around the story, 'Matilda'. This story is about a little girl who loves to read, and is incredibly smart, however her own family treats her unequally. This novel study has been done on the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth chapters of the story. 

In the eleventh chapter, Bruce Bogtrotter was called out for sneaking into the kitchen and eating Miss Trunchbull's private chocolate cake. So, Miss Trunchbull arranged an assembly and forced Bruce Bogtrotter to eat a giant chocolate cake as a consequence.

In the twelfth chapter, Miss Honey explains to the class that Miss Trunchbull will be visiting the class to see how well the students have been taught. Lavender takes this opportunity to trick Miss Trunchbull and capture and put a newt in her cup of water.

In the thirteenth chapter, Miss Trunchbull finally visits Miss Honey's class and tests them on their spelling, multiplication and reading skills. Miss Trunchbull punishes the children whenever they get it wrong, and is baffled by Matilda's wisdom.

Novel studies help the reader evaluate their understanding of a book.
