Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can read and discuss a section of the build-up in ‘The Borrowers’.

Show transcript
In the build-up, Pod is “seen” by a human “bean” and this causes concern for the Clock family’s safety. Arrietty expresses her discontent being trapped under the floorboards and her desire to experience the world above. Homily persuades a reluctant Pod to take Arrietty borrowing. The Clock family have contrasting feelings about Arrietty going on a borrowing expedition. We can infer a character’s emotions from their actions, words and expressions.
