Key questions
- What do we know about Maxwell so far?

If Maxwell was in our class, what might he do?
I have recorded the first chapter so following the instructions children can pause at the clip to read the pages they are meant to:
Use an example from yesterday’s work where a child has tracked the character of Maxwell so far.
Answer these questions from what we read yesterday;
•What do we know about Maxwell so far?
•What type of boy is he?
•What do you think might happen next?
•What is he capable of?
•If Maxwell was in our class, what might he do?
Read Chapter 2 with the children.

•I think Maxwell is _____________ because on page ___ it says _______________
•Maxwell is ___________ because he _____________
•I was surprised when Maxwell ________________
•I did not expect Maxwell to __________________

Now you will focus on the relationship between Maxwell and Bex using pages 12 and 13 of the book.
Think about the way the two characters interact through the dialogue and reactions.
Re-read the section from “You do know you’ll be grounded, don’t you?” on page 12 to “Please, Maxwell. I want to print off my Persian Empire project” on page 13.
Give your opinion on what this tells us using the template below
Share the Maxwell and Bex resource and encourage children to give their opinion. What does this tell us about Maxwell/Bex? How do we know?
Optional reading activity – further explore the sibling rivalry relationship between Bex and Maxwell.
