3. Create online Wordcloud
All the students doing the same character are to come
together in groups to discuss their findings and come up
with words and phrases to create a Wordcloud on their
 character. Although the students in the group can
collaborate together. The Wordcloud is to be completed
individually
4. Share findings on an online collaborative tool
So that all students can see the ways in which all the
characters are being characterised, students can upload
their Wordcloud to be uploaded onto google doc to be seen
by all members of the class and teacher.

Conclusion:
5. Once Wordclouds have all be uploaded to google
doc, teacher and students come back to the start to
prompt a discussion on what has been learnt
through this activity
- What features make up a person’s description?
- Why do authors and directors create character’s
differently?
