War Horse Chapter 8 Comprehension for Whole Class Guided Reading includes differentiated questions and activities based on chapter eight of the popular novel by Michael Morpurgo. We recommend using this novel with Year 5 & Year 6. In this chapter, Joey and Trooper Warren join the rest of the squadron on a charge into battle. As they gallop up the hill, Trooper Warren realises there is barbed wire at the top of the hill. Suddenly, explosions of shells and machine guns take out many of the men and horses. Joey stays close to Topthorn and they make it over the wire into the enemy’s camp where they are captured as prisoners of war. At the end of the battle, Joey and Topthorn are lead away leaving Trooper Warren and Captain Stewart to an unknown fate.
