Activities in this teaching pack include a template to select and record information about the appearance and behaviour of a character from a story by a significant author to show how they are important to the sequence and development of the narrative plot.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to present information about the appearance and behaviour of a character from a story by a significant author.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to research and model different ways that authors describe and use characters in narrative stories, practise identifying words with irregular past tense spellings and write sentences to describe story characters using conjunctions. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
