Roald Dahl Workshop

CREATING CHARACTERS!
THE ROALD DAHL WORKSHOP!
 We’re going to spend this first half term
  creating a short story that would make Roald
  Dahl proud!
 We’re going to design imaginative characters
  and write about their adventures that take
  place in our own made-up settings.

   We’re going to do all of this in less than 250
    words!
DESIGNING YOUR MAIN CHARACTER:

   Before Roald Dahl began writing his stories,
    he had to come up with imaginative
    characters like Matilda, James, Charlie and
    all of the others.

   Complete your factfile worksheet with lots of
    detailed information about your made up
    character.
MATILDA’S FACTFILE:
   This is how Matilda’s factfile would look:
     Name              Matilda Wormwood

     Age               4-6

     Appearance        A very young small girl. More to her than meets
                       the eye! Brown eyes and brown hair tied with a
                       red ribbon.
     Personality       Exceptionally intelligent, brilliant at sums. Loves
                       reading. Brave and mischievous.
     Family            Two silly parents who pay no attention to her.
                       They adore her brother, Michael. Mr Wormwood
                       is a crook mechanic and Mrs Wormwood plays
                       bingo. They love watching TV and hate reading.
     Special           Supernatural Powers!
     Characteristics
TASK 2

   Now write a detailed paragraph, telling us
    everything there is to know about your made
    up character.
VOLUNTEERS?

   Would anybody like to share their character
    description?
