Short Answer
1. What challenges might someone face while working in a team? How can working in a team be beneficial for completing a task? How can it be detrimental? Explain.
Teaching Suggestion: This Short Answer question invites students to explore the themes Teamwork Brings Us Together and The Benefits of Quick Thinking. Dahl’s novel explores the ways that working together can be important for achieving goals. In particular, Muggle-Wump, his family, the Roly-Poly Bird, and the other birds team up to seek revenge against the Twits. Although Dahl’s novel focuses on the benefits of teamwork, students may benefit from exploring instances when working individually is best for a specific outcome.
Short Activity
The circus is one of the most famous and oldest forms of entertainment, but there are fewer circuses now than there were when The Twits was first published in 1980.
