- Characters are an essential feature of narrative writing. This checkpoint activity encourages students to integrate multiple ways of describing characters (including physical details, character history, relationships, feelings, and beliefs) to create a rich portrait. We use a snippet from David Walliam's Awful Auntie as a model. This is the last in a series of activities that target different aspects of character description.
