Tombful of Trouble - Session 6 - Character Analysis Auguste

In session 6 of "Tombful of Trouble," students delve into a character analysis activity focused on Auguste, a key figure in the story. The task is designed to enhance their understanding of the character by examining the descriptive language used in the text. Initially, they are prompted to identify words and phrases that paint a picture of Auguste's physical appearance. This part of the activity encourages close reading and attention to detail, as students sift through the narrative to find the specific language that shapes their mental image of Auguste.

Furthering their exploration of the character, students are then asked to look for words and phrases that reveal how Auguste communicates and conducts himself. This aspect of the analysis is crucial in building a comprehensive profile of the character, as it encompasses Auguste's manner of speech and behaviour, providing insights into his personality and motivations. Finally, with a thorough understanding of Auguste's characteristics, students use the gathered descriptions to create their own illustrations of the character. This creative exercise not only solidifies their interpretation of Auguste but also allows them to express their perception of him visually, making the character analysis a multi-faceted and engaging learning experience.
