Project: Character Collage Chart

1. Make a list of characters you have met so far in the book:

                     Percy, Grover, Nancy Bobofit, Mrs. Dodds, Mr. Brunner, Smelly Gabe and Sally Jackson.

2. Search and cut out (or print from the computer) photos of people that you think are close to how these characters would appear or look like. Paste these onto an A3 cardboard

3. You should then label each character and find a quote about them from the book – either a description of the character or something they said. This line should be written underneath each character’s picture.
