Character descriptions (complete lesson)

In this lesson, pupils develop their understanding of the different ways in which we can describe characters. The pupils look at a character description of a person describing them through:

• their appearance,
• their character
• their actions
• their thoughts
• their movements
• the subtext

The pupils then go on to describe a character in similar ways. There are three different characters for the pupils to describe. Their is an extension activity where the pupils go on to develop their ideas into a piece of narrative writing including adverbial phrases in their writing.

The lesson comes complete with a PowerPoint and activity sheet. Both are well designed and child friendly.
