READING REFLECTIONS

IDEAS TO THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU'RE READING......

• Compare and contrast this BOOK with another BOOK or FILM.

• Be specific– what are the similarities and differences etc.

• Draw the main character from a book you  have recently read.  Show them as a baby, middle aged and as an older person.

• For example if you drew Harry Potter as a baby, he might be casting spells on his  mum to feed him lots of yummy food.

• Write a character guide to the characters you think are important in your book. Choose quotes about the specific characters to include in your guide.

• Choose your favourite language and sentence structures that you think make the book come to life-what techniques does the author use? Choose examples and produce a poster to show what you have chosen.

• Draw up a family tree of the characters in your book.

• Imagine your main characters can be granted 2 wishes half way through your story-what do you think they would wish for and why?

• Would you like to live in your book’s world? Yes or No? But you have to say WHY and use evidence from your text.

• Choose three important events from the book-why are they important to the story?

• Using speech bubbles, draw a conversation between two characters in your story.

• Make a newspaper front page for an important event from your book.

• Make a map of your book’s world.

• Write a diary entry for one of your characters.....remember to use I!

• Choose a character from your book, imagine you are them and write a story from their point of view.
