This week we have been learning how to explore character descriptions and consider how this indicates personality traits. We also looked into how to extract quotations and retrieve information from a novel or piece of text effectively. We used our class novel ‘Why the Whales Came’ by Michael Morpurgo to complete this task.
We looked into narrative voice, description, language and dialogue used to create an image of the Birdman in the readers head. We drew the Birdman based upon the descriptions given by the author and other characters in the novel, backing this up with direct quotations from the text to emphasise the way he is portrayed.
