The Whipping Boy
Age 7-9: Concept 4 - Relationships: Unit 2

In this unit, you will read the tale of Jemmy, the Prince's whipping boy, who ends up running for his life and, worst of all, getting stuck with Prince Brat.

You will learn about the feudal system and what life was really like for a commoner in the kingdom, and you'll get to design your own family crest! Through the lessons, you will begin to recognize and practice using figures of speech, including similes, idioms, metaphors, and hyperbole. For the final project, you'll write and act out a monologue from the perspective of both of the main characters.
