Mrs. Anka Milleri introduces a prose lesson focused on the short story “My Father is a Polar Bear” by Michael Morpurgo from the collection “Whereabouts Hill.” The lesson explores literary devices such as simile, kinesthetic imagery, metaphor, onomatopoeia, and the use of flashbacks and staccato sentences, while encouraging students to empathize with characters. The session also provides insights into Morpurgo’s life, emphasizing that while his stories are fictional, they often draw on real experiences, as is the case with the parallels between Morpurgo’s biographical details and the short story’s plot.
