Y2 & Y3 Writing a Character Profile.

Y2 & Y3 Writing a Character Profile is a simple Smartboard presentation giving a fictional character on which to base a character profile. The presentation opens with a reminder of what makes a sentence (using nouns and verbs) and also discusses the use of adjectives. The reader is then invited to read a short character profile to discuss how good it is. It isn’t good, but suggestions are made on how it could be improved by using varied sentence openers, a range of connectives and possibly including a personal opinion, The presentation uses all of these ideas to come up with a finished character description. The reader is finally invited to create their own character description for a certain ‘Mr Grumpemthumpem’ a Troll teacher from the worst school in the land. Included with the illustration of Mr Grumpemthumpem is a list of technical details to be included in the children’s work.
