Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

(0)
These Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – Character Traits and Compare and Contrast Tasks are perfect for looking at the similarities and differences between the book and the movie/s. Instructions Read the novel to your grade and then watch the two versions of the movie. This will provide the information for your grade to engage in the tasks. The comparisons will have more rigour with this background immersion. Task One What are character traits? Choose a friend you know well. Together fill out the Venn Diagram and then complete the page on your friend. Draw a picture of them in the middle of the page. Record what you like about them. On the second page add the words with evidence. Task Two As you read to the grade or watch the movie/s, students are to add character details for a character of their choice. The three sections of beginning, middle and end allow you to record any changes in characters as the story develops. The ‘beginning’ tab is for your first impressions. The ‘end’ tab for your final thoughts Task Three Traits and gathering evidence. This is for adding notes prior to making your own poster. You must add your evidence. For example – Charlie shows humour when he jokes about winning the ticket. Task Four Posters and presentation. These posters can be used to record the final presentation of traits and evidence. Your students may decide to draw their own characters. Photos are provided at the start of this pack, if you would like to share them for motivation. Task Five Compare and contrast the two movies. We used our key word research skills to compile a list using the internet. This is by no means complete. Your grade can make a list of similarities of their own. There are recording sheets to use. Research in pairs and then combine with another pair to add items. Share as a whole grade to make a grade list. Please read the description and download the preview before purchasing.
