In class, the children worked in groups to create a character profile for Mr. Trigger, a figure who appears only once in their comprehension text as the recipient of a letter.
Using the letter of complaint addressed to him, they applied a range of comprehension skills to infer details about Mr. Trigger’s personality, behaviour, and possible role in the situation.
Each group gathered evidence from the text to support their ideas and developed a thoughtful, imaginative character profile. They then presented their findings to the class, explaining the clues they identified and how these informed their inferences.
