Painting Pictures with Words-Characterization

As our inspiration, we used Roald Dahl's "painting with words" as he introduced Miss Trunchbull. We studied and annotated his text before attempting our own description of a teacher, for better or for worse!




Daniel
Weird, quiet and creepy...that's Mr Bicocca. It has always seemed that he was hiding something. There was always something different and out of place.
Norhan
Sparkling, blue eyes, glossy blonde hair and a delightful comment every time you walked past. Nothing else could explain why butterflies could land on her finger!
Madi
Her misty, minuscule eyes created an immense stare that is the most frightening thing imaginable...her thin, colourless lips spat out random insults. Her long, gnarled fingers were like icicles, cold and irregular in shape...
Mairead
With her naturally bright smile, Miss Edith is the most beautiful and charming teacher by far. She always wears her pretty purply-blue ruffle dress with her bright and cheery red cardigan. Her cute purply-blue glasses clash perfectly with her bright-and-cheery red flats. Joy, kindness and niceness are her forte...
Caitie
In her horrifying face, no beauty is seen. She resembles a gremlin..no-one dares to look into her deadly eyes nor look at her devilish smile that gives children night mares.
Lizzy
The wind was strong and intense. Missy Chatter Chops rushed towards her chaotic classroom tripping and falling right into the closed door. She fell so hard and strenuously that the door fell right off its ancient, rusty hinges. "Oh dear , dear me," her blistery voice cracked and rang in the ears of all in the old, disordered classroom and along the silent, empty hallway.
Carley
If you had to describe her, three words would be enough. Just plain mean!  Mrs Toluga was the master of demons. She could control anyone, anyone at all. Her stare was so frightening you would feel as if a whirlpool was sucking you in.
