Who Let the Gods Out? Inference Activity

Three differentiated worksheets based around the chapter in Who Let the Gods Out?, where Elliot and Virgo meet Thanatos for the first time and he tricks them into freeing him. The worksheets focus around inference skills, specifically character inferences.

Children are given a set of words or actions performed by Thanatos during the chapter. They then have to consider why he might have said or done that action and think about what that suggest about him as a person. The first two worksheets provided a guide as to how to answer this inference question.

Page 1 - aimed for core majority of class, children given sentence stems to support thinking.
Page 2 - aimed for children who need more support - children given sentence stems to support thinking and multiple choice for the inference part.
Page 3 - a more open task aimed at the more able, presented in the style of a 3 mark question on an assessment paper, children given a section of the chapter to work through and identify what they think Thanatos is like.

This was used with a Year 5 class.
