The Last Bear - Session 13 - Character Analysis Tör

In Session 13 of 'The Last Bear', the reading activity centres around a character analysis of Tör, a figure from the narrative. Students delve into the text, seeking out specific words and phrases that paint a picture of Tör's physical appearance. This exercise encourages close reading and attention to detail, as the children sift through the narrative to find the descriptive language that helps them visualise the character's looks. By focusing on the text's imagery, they gather a collection of terms that contribute to building a clear and vivid image of Tör.

The activity also involves examining Tör's behaviour and speech, as portrayed in the text. Students are tasked with identifying words and phrases that illustrate not just what Tör looks like, but also how he conducts himself and interacts with others. This part of the analysis offers insight into Tör's personality and mannerisms, providing a deeper understanding of his character. After gathering this information, the students use the descriptions they've compiled to draw a picture of Tör, bringing the character to life visually. This creative aspect of the session helps to cement the students' interpretation of Tör and enhances their engagement with the text.
