Good night Mr. Tom - speaking activity

We have now seen the film Good Night Mr. Tom and it has been time to talk about the film. You will have four discussion questions which I want you to speak about in your study groups and record your speaking and then send your audio file to me (ulrikaselever@gmail.com). Make sure everyone in your group understand the questions.  As a final assignment - look at the last question and create a Canva which you, later on, will present to your classmates (you don't need to record your discussion about this question).

• From early on in the story, we understand that William´s home life has not always been a happy one. Discuss your impression of William´s childhood in London, referring to specific clues you may find in the story. 
• If William never had gone to Little Weirwold and experienced such love and friendship there, he would still think his life in London to be normal. Discuss this view. 
• Do you think Tom Oakley was right to travel to London and bring Willam back home to Little Weirwold? Should he have “rescued” him from the hospital? 
• How do you think the children felt when they were told to leave their homes in London and travel far away to a strange place called Little Weirwold?

Good night Mr Tom
