The 13-Storey Treehouse - Session 2 - Character Analysis Jill

In the second session of "The 13-Storey Treehouse," the reading activity focuses on a character analysis of Jill. Students are encouraged to delve into the text to uncover words and phrases that paint a picture of Jill's appearance. This exercise aids in developing their skills of inference and attention to detail, as they sift through the narrative to find descriptive language that helps them visualise Jill. It's an opportunity for students to become more familiar with how authors use language to bring characters to life.

Furthering their understanding of Jill, students also explore the text for clues about her speech and behaviour. This part of the activity is designed to give students insight into Jill's personality and mannerisms, based on how she interacts with others and her environment. The culmination of this character analysis is a creative task where students use the information gathered from the text to draw their interpretation of Jill. This not only reinforces their comprehension of the character but also allows them to express their understanding through art, making the learning experience both analytical and imaginative.
