- Identify 3 language features the author has used in this passage e.g. noun groups, verbs, adverbs or adverb groups, prepositional phrases, direct speech, cohesive devices (time words).
- Extension Task (optional): Pretend you had special abilities like Matilda. In your homework book, write a chapter about the "miracle" you performed. It could be set at school, at home... it's up to you! Write from a first person perspective (using pronouns like I, my, we). Make sure you pack it with language features like Roald Dahl!
