I Was a Rat, by Philip Pullman

As part of our Literacy lessons, we used freeze frames to explore the thoughts and feelings of different characters in I Was a Rat. We looked at a few important moments in the text so far, including:

• Bob and Joan meeting Roger
• Roger learning how to eat
• Roger being turned away from the police station
• Roger biting his teacher

The freeze frames helped us think about Bob and Joan’s emotions and how they changed throughout the story so far.
