FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Compare/contrast ‘The Thunk’ and ‘The Very Blue Thingamajig’ – character traits”

by Robust Reading Resources
2nd – 3rd Grade



Comparing and contrasting characters can be challenging for students.

This resource includes three graphic organisers to support students to compare and contrast the inside and outside traits of two characters drawn from much-loved picture books by two acclaimed authors:’

  • “The Thunk” by Michelle Robinson; and
  • “The Very Blue Thingamajig” by Narelle Oliver.

Students use the graphic organiser of the teacher’s choice to identify traits that make the characters unique and traits that the characters may share.

If this is a new skill for the students, teachers may choose to use the graphic organisers to model this through whole school discussion.
