In the first part of "The Giant's Necklace," a reading activity is centered around a character analysis of Cherry. Students are encouraged to delve into the text to extract words and phrases that detail Cherry's appearance, providing a deeper visual understanding of the character.

It extends to observing the textual descriptions of Mum's speech and actions, which helps students understand her character's mannerisms and personality. The activity includes a creative aspect where students are asked to draw Mum based on the text's descriptions, allowing them to translate their understanding of the words into a visual format. Lastly, students are encouraged to articulate Mum's personality in their own words and phrases, promoting personal engagement with the text and fostering their ability to convey character analysis through their unique perspective.
