Pupils examine the personality of Hogarth in this character trait matching exercise.
Pupils match the character traits of Hogarth from The Iron Man (also known as The Iron Giant) by Ted Hughes with evidence from the text and a definition of that character trait.
The quotes from the text have been provided, alongside the definitions.
This resource has been differentiated three ways:
• Higher ability: 9 quotes, character traits and definitions have been provided.
• Middle ability: 6 quotes, character traits and definitions have been provided.
• Lower ability: 6 quotes have been provided, with the character traits and definitions combined.
This activity is a great way for pupils to think carefully about how a character’s personality is revealed by what they do and how they react in a story. This gives pupils an opportunity to use their inference skills.
All quotes are taken from Chapter 2 of the text.
An answer sheet has been included.
After the matching activity, pupils plan and write a character profile using the writing template provided. This example Iron Man character profile can be used as a handy WAGOLL or model text.
All resources come in easily editable Word format and as PDFs.
