Fantastic Mr Fox -Talk Homework


Over the next few weeks we will be reading the famous story by Roald Dahl called Fantastic Mr Fox.  This week for talk homework I would like you to talk 
about the trickster character of Mr Fox from the story. Discuss:
·       What do you think about Mr Fox?
·       What do you like about him (qualities)?
·       Do they think he is wrong to take the chickens from the farm?
·       What are his character traits? Cunning, clever, charming, devious, sharp-witted, smart, humorous, foxy, over-confident, menacing etc.
·       How do the other characters in the story feel about the fox?
·       What does he look like? What adjectives can you think of to describe him?
·       What is he wearing?
·       How does he move?
·       Can you use similes to describe him? His fur was as soft as silk.

On Friday we will be writing a detailed description of Mr Fox.  I have included a sheet which you can make notes on or just write them straight into your treasury. Have fun!
