LO: Understand how writers portray character personality through writing. This is a lesson based on exploring the techniques a writer uses to show a characters personality and requires pupils to use the evidence from the text extract I have included from the book 'The Hobbit' it is an excellent extract featuring the character 'Gollum.' The Powerpoint I have made goes through the process of... S (speech) A (actions) D (description) Children can then annotate their text accordingly and / or draw the character with annotations. Highly adaptable for many ages. The 1970's version of the hobbit features a similar conversation on YouTube. BONUS I have included a snippet of the text from 'The Hobbit' an activity for children to highlight all the parts of the text that describe the hobbit / wizard and the house. They then draw a picture to match their highlights. The results can be compared to the artists impression I have included.

UPDATED with LOTS more resources Perfect for Years 3-5 when studying non-chronological reports / information writing, with differentiated worksheets, great for getting boys interested! I have updated this popular pack of resources with much much more. Now includes… -Online ‘Prezi’ I made (an online animated Presentation ready to use) .

Specially selected and organised original Powerpoint (and Keynote / ipad / mac versions) of riddles and problems to make pupils think about things creatively, many completely original. A great thing to start or finish the day with on the whiteboard, organised into powerpoints for you. For example… (Morning activities) ‘How many countries in the world can you think of?’ (Lateral thinking) Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones? Answer: Round covers cannot be dropped or fall down a manhole, unlike square ones. I hope you enjoy using these with your class.
