The Magic Finger - Lesson 2: Introducing Our Narrator - Worksheet

In this English teaching resource, students are invited to engage creatively with the text by drawing the narrator from the story, using only the details provided in the initial pages of the book. This task encourages pupils to pay close attention to the descriptive language and character clues offered by the author. Once they have completed their illustrations, they are to enhance their drawings with labels, selecting appropriate words directly from the book to describe the narrator. This exercise not only fosters visual literacy but also ensures that students are referencing the text to support their interpretations.

The worksheet serves as a hands-on activity to deepen students' understanding of characterisation and narrative perspective. By focusing on the narrator, students explore the voice telling the story, which can provide insights into the narrative's tone and viewpoint. This task is a part of a series of resources aimed at developing key literacy skills and fostering a more interactive and personal engagement with literary texts. By combining artistic expression with textual analysis, the worksheet offers a multifaceted approach to learning, catering to diverse learning styles within the classroom.
