Character Analysis

Students have been looking at the elements of characterisation as part of their literature studies during library lessons this term.  We have looked at character traits based on physical appearance, actions, speech, behaviour and interaction with others within a story. Students are able to identify the protagonists and antagonists of a story, and to use comprehension strategies to describe implied character traits. Students in Year 5 and 6 were challenged to brainstorm high level adjectives to describe a character of their choice, and then to provide supporting evidence from the text.  Here are some of the best examples - great job Evan and Sam!
