Brightstorm - Session 23 - Character Analysis Welby

In Session 23 of the Brightstorm reading activity, students are encouraged to delve deep into character analysis by exploring the character of Welby. The task is multifaceted, aiming to develop a comprehensive understanding of Welby's character through various textual clues. Students begin by extracting words and phrases directly from the text that detail Welby's physical appearance. This exercise not only enhances their descriptive vocabulary but also aids in visualising the character more vividly.

Furthering their analytical skills, students then examine the text for cues on how Welby speaks and acts, providing insight into his behavioural traits. With these descriptions at hand, students are tasked with drawing Welby, translating the written word into a visual representation that captures his essence. Lastly, they are asked to articulate Welby's personality using their own words and phrases, encouraging a personal engagement with the character and demonstrating their understanding of his nature. This comprehensive character study allows for an immersive and creative approach to reading comprehension and character exploration.
