In this literature lesson, students explore an excerpt from Roald Dahl’s “George’s Marvelous Medicine,” focusing on reading and responding to new text, making inferences, and understanding figurative language like similes and onomatopoeia. The story centers on George, who concocts a unique medicine for his grumpy grandmother, promising unexpected consequences. The session encourages discussion about the character dynamics and the imaginative elements typical of Roald Dahl’s works, such as those found in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” “Matilda,” and “The BFG.”
