- Education
Last year for Roald Dahl Day I gave you "Revolting Rhymes, this year I give you another three installments this time reading aloud "Dirty Beasts". In this podcast I read aloud the tales of The Pig, The Crocodile and The Lion.
If you would like to listen to each poem in isolation poem; one starts straight after the intro music, poem 2 starts at 4:30 and poem 3 begins at 6:30. Enjoy!
The Pig
How do you know the pig was clever?
“He jumped up like a ballet dancer” How does that describe his movement?
What are chitterlings?
“Because there was so much to eat” What does this phrase tell you about what the farmer may have looked like?
Try to think of a synonym for ‘remorse’
The Crocodile
How does the name “Crocky-Wock” compare with his attitude? What name would you chose instead?
Which sauces does the crocodile eat with the girls and boys?
Who do you think is saying the second part of the poem?
What parts of the crocodile does the poem describe?
The Lion
What does the word ‘tender’ mean when describing meat?
Make a list of the different meats in the poem. Can you think of anything else they might like?
If the lion said this to you what would you do?
