This learning resource focuses on character analysis and interactions in a story, particularly exploring the bond between humans and animals. It outlines success criteria for students to effectively identify character interactions, support claims with evidence, and articulate the significance of these relationships. The resource includes a brainstorming section for students to express their thoughts on the human-animal bond, along with a structured framework for analyzing character feelings and actions through the Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER) technique. Additionally, it contains activities for mapping character interactions to plot development and encourages personal reflection on how students' understanding of characters evolves through analysis.
