Teachers, save “My Two Blankets-Analysing Character Feel…” to assign it to your class.

Cartwheel experienced a range of feelings - how do we know that she felt that way? It is critically important to be able to find evidence in the book when we form an opinion about something. For example, on page three, we might infer Cartwheel feels scared and even nervous which we can infer from illustration and the repeated use of the word ‘strange’. In small groups ask the students to play detectives. We will use the evidence table to identify what feeling was being portrayed and what evidence they can find to support our thinking.
