Anansi and Tiger - Character Comparer
An activity to create character profiles, making comparisons between different characters and the part they play.
Make and print cards of characters from the story. Select the character and choose an appropriate expression. Write a character description by clicking on the text boxes, or make an activity by leaving them blank so that children can write their own text away from the computer. You can choose from free text or titles (e.g. strengths, weaknesses). Print out the cards and let the children mix and match them to inspire further story writing.
