Y2 Children’s Literature 2008a 2024 T2 Wk7
Written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter - 1893 Beatrix Potter: - had a passion for the natural world, so animals are her characters - wrote 23 in a series of little books: The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher is Number 7/23 Who has read any books in the series? Publishers told Potter that frogs aren’t cute and fluffy enough to be main characters in children’s books. Potter helped pave the way for non-fluffy stars in picture books.
Q: What are the names of some non-fluffy animal characters you have read about in stories? Example ‘Fluffy the Porcupine’ https://youtu.be/DN6OH4x406o 5:25 Focus: The Queen Victoria era (the queen was into manners in a big way!)
Students attempt meanings of bold words in context - life was very proper in Beatrix’s time and well-to-do people dressed up, even to go fishing! - people were extremely polite to each other, even good friends referred to each other as Mr and Mrs, as did married couples. Can you imagine your parents saying things like: ‘Excuse me, Mr Scott, would you please pass the salt? Why of course Mrs Scott, would you like the pepper as well? Activity: students practice addressing each other politely
