For this reason, this lesson focuses on helping young learners discuss thoughts about various characters which they can later use to help them write their essay. Students develop these using an interview format with each student taking the role of one of the main characters from a small tale or book. This exercise not only helps students develop thoughts for their essay, but it also encourages communication in the class room and team work. Aim: Developing character breakdown for an essay Activity: Interview activity Level: Young Learners – upper intermediate Outline:* Choose a small tale or book which will be the basis of individual essays, or essays written in small groups.* Place a list of the main characters on the board and have an equal number of students take on the role of each of these charters.* Give students the handout with interview questions to fill in. Students will need a while to end the interview sheet (you might want to introduce this lesson over two lessons with students preparing the interview sheet for homework).* Make small groups of students with one student per character. Have students interview each additional about the questions, encourage the students to question for further explanation. Example: – What is your favorite leisure activity? Tennis  Why do you like tennis so much? I like the individual nature of the game. * Have students take notes of additional students’ responses for a follow-up class session.* Do a class session talking about the variety of responses, write down a broad selection of answers to later photocopy and give to the students to be used as notes when writing an essay.
