Woodpeckers Reading – Character Analysis

Today, we have read the third chapter of our reading book, Captain Crow’s Teeth. In this chapter, our main character, Will, went to the Sprats’ Jig with his brother Marty even though he ‘hates dancing!’ Woodpeckers task was to analyse our main character by considering Will’s appearance and external feelings and his internal feelings. We did this in groups by using a drama technique ‘Role on the Wall’. The children used evidence from the test to support their ideas and some even used a thesaurus to find ambitious vocabulary. We discussed our ideas as a class and answered some questions in our reading journals.
