Speech and Actions
This worksheet set helps students explore how a character's speech and actions reveal their personality. By focusing on Pig the Pug’s behaviour, students will examine how his words contrast with or reinforce his actions and how this makes him an unlikable character. The extension activity invites students to reimagine Pig behaving in a kinder way.
