DNA by Dennis Kelly Character Analysis 11 Flash Cards. Task - English Literature KS3 / KS4 GCSE

I created these after the KS3 class read Act 1 of DNA. On the back of each individual name card, get the learners to do a character analysis: Personality traits - positive and negative Words they would use to describe that character 1 key quote from Act 1 that they feel shows the character’s positive / negative character traits ( e.g John Tate: " …if anyone says it I’m going to have to, you know, bite their face." This shows his intimidating and bullying nature). On the front of each card, the faces are left blank. I got to class to draw the faces of each character as they imagined them to look. This is their own interpretation. Print the pages double sided and the cards will print out colour coded to each character. I have also attached grey character cards incase you want to print the cards out black and white ( so they are the same shade of grey).
