Your task today is to draw an outline of Gunnar in the middle of your page. This does not need to be detailed – a gingerbread person style outline would be fine, as would a stick person. Around the outside, you should write down what you think about Gunnar and why you think this. Think specifically about his…
- personality
- feelings
- thoughts
- motives
- actions
- relationships with other characters
Challenge: Imagine you are Gunnar. Write a letter to your dad (who is in Valhalla) explaining how you feel about what’s happened in the book so far. You could include some key events (think back to yesterday’s learning) and you must include how you feel.
