Cyclone - Jackie French / Bruce Whatley - Worksheets

Based on the experiences of Cyclone Tracy, this powerful picture book by Jackie French and Bruce Whatley is perfect for close analysis in the classroom.

This resource is aimed at a high school audience, with a focus on close analysis of the text. Activities include a consideration of language techniques such as juxtaposition, metaphor and personification, as well as visual techniques like colour, contrast and vectors. The questions tend to be quite challenging, and lower-ability students would benefit from teacher scaffolding and discussion to tease out the ideas of the text. The worksheet comprises six pages in total and is included in both Word and pdf formats, enabling you to adapt the resource to your needs.
