Use this Character Analysis pack to help your pupils develop their understanding of the characters in the book, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

Using the character profile worksheet, children identify the language used to describe physical and personality traits. This shows them how it is important to describe both for a reader to get a full understanding of a character. They can then use the vocabulary identified to write their own descriptive sentences of the character.

The character voice and thoughts activity allows children to explore their understanding of what a character might say out loud but also what they might be thinking in a moment from the book. This worksheet has been presented in two ways to offer you choice and flexibility depending on the needs of your class.

The character emotions resource allows you to track how a character is feeling throughout the story. This activity has been presented in multiple ways to provide choice and flexibility when looking at the emotional journey of a character.
