War Horse character portrait writing guides (Joey, Albert, Friedrick and pen portrait of all)

A pack of sheets to guide pupils when writing character profiles of the main characters in War Horse by Micheal Morporgo. 1. The first sheet encourages the pupils to write short pen portraits (tweets) describing each character in the story. There are answers for the teacher which could be used as examples to guide less able pupils in what is expected. This is a good introductory activity after reading all of War Horse. 2. Next I have included thorough paragraph planners for detailed character profiles of Joey (a more able and less able version) and Albert. You could re-read sections of the novel or watch clips to gather ideas e.g. watch/read the section when Albert has to give Joey to Captain Nichols. 3. Finally, there is a writing frame to help children gather ideas about Friedrich. This could then be used to write a text about Friedrich.
