Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

These Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – Character Traits and Compare and Contrast Tasks are perfect for looking at the similarities and differences between the book and the movie/s.

Instructions

• Read the novel to your grade and then watch the two versions of the movie.
• This will provide the information for your grade to engage in the tasks.
• The comparisons will have more rigour with this background immersion.

Task One

• What are character traits?
• Choose a friend you know well.
• Together fill out the Venn Diagram and then complete the page on your friend. Draw a picture of them in the middle of the page.
• Record what you like about them.
• On the second page add the words with evidence.

Task Two

• As you read to the grade or watch the movie/s, students are to add character details for a character of their choice.
• The three sections of beginning, middle and end allow you to record any changes in characters as the story develops.
• The ‘beginning’ tab is for your first impressions.
• The ‘end’ tab for your final thoughts

Task Three

• Traits and gathering evidence.
• This is for adding notes prior to making your own poster.
• You must add your evidence.
• For example – Charlie shows humour when he jokes about winning the ticket.

Task Four

• Posters and presentation.
• These posters can be used to record the final presentation of traits and evidence.
• Your students may decide to draw their own characters.
• Photos are provided at the start of this pack, if you would like to share them for motivation.

Task Five

• Compare and contrast the two movies.
• We used our key word research skills to compile a list using the internet.
• This is by no means complete.
