Roald DahlA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
How do the Twits act like “twits” from the beginning to the end of the story? Does this couple have any redeemable qualities? Why or why not? How does the behavior of the Twits compare with the behavior of the character you chose for the Personal Connection Prompt?
Teaching Suggestion: This Discussion/Analysis Prompt invites students to consider their Personal Connection Prompt in relation to the novel. Students should consider the way that Dahl characterizes the Twits, both physically as well as personally, in their responses.
Differentiation Suggestion: Visual learners and students who would benefit from additional guidance might create a character map of Mr. and Mrs. Twit, which may help them identify how these characters are impacted by the story’s setting, plot, and other characters.
Use this activity to engage all types of learners, while requiring that they refer to and incorporate details from the text over the course of the activity.
CREATIVE WRITING: “The Origin of Mrs. Twit”
In this activity, students will write a creative piece that explores what happened in Mrs. Twit’s life to make her become a “twit.”
In his novel, Dahl specifies that unlike her husband, Mrs. Twit became a “twit” over time. Imagine that you are tasked with writing a prologue to The Twits where you explore the origins of Mrs.
