Character Descriptions


In Room 8 we have been learning to write character descriptions. We learnt that we need to include the name of who we are describing, what they look like, how they behave and what they like and dislike.

We have described our local cat Archie, our favourite book characters, movie characters and gaming characters. It was fun to describe all the different characters.

See some of our character descriptions below.











Who would you describe if you wrote a character description?

    You are really good at describing the characters! When you were describing the characters did you look at pictures for clues or did you already know about them? We would like to describe lots of different characters. We would like you to try and guess who we are describing. He's square, he is yellow and lives under the sea. He has brown pants. Can you guess who he is?

      We think the character you were describing is Spongebob Squarepants, did we get that right? We described our memory.

  2. Kia ora Room 8 & 9. We liked reading your character descriptions. We are learning to describe characters too. How did you make Elmo dance in space? We like that.

      We searched using the image search in google slides for the Elmo giphy.
      Hope this helps.

  3. Kia ora Room 8,

    What great descriptions of your characters. You have used lots of adjectives to describe each one.

    Something that could make these even more special would be if you had created your own drawings of the characters, rather than using ones from the internet. You could check out Room 9's blog post for some ideas.

    Keep up the great learning and blogging,

  4. Kia ora Sharon,

    Thank you for your comment. We will try making our own pictures next week.
    We had a look at Room 9's character description and we thought they were pretty good.
