How can we describe The Twits?

Year 3 have loved reading The Twits this week and exploring the horrible characters of Mr and Mrs Twit. We went on a “Twits Trail” to help us bring the characters to life and inspire our writing.

We listened to the disgusting sounds they made while eating, felt what their wrinkles might be like using corrugated card, explored Mr Twit’s coarse, food-filled beard, spotted Mrs Twit’s glass eye floating in a bottle, smelt what they might have smelt like, and even pulled our own “ugly faces” to see how our expressions changed!

This exciting, hands-on lesson helped us generate lots of rich vocabulary and descriptive ideas, which we then used the next day to write fantastic character descriptions.
