I will use it with year 10. It is a good prompt for character analysis.

I used this well structured worksheet with my Y12 class, to support them in preparing to write an essay that analyses themes and character.

I often use an A- Z theme generator to prompt students into remembering themes in texts. E.G. Students write alphabet in their books and in pairs they brainstorm theme; in TKAMB P for prejudice.
This activity is good as lesson starter and takes very little preparation. Magic!
