Сравнивая Бруно и Шмуэля, студенты должны видеть, что Бруно очень любопытный мальчик, но он совершенно не осведомлен о ситуации вокруг него. Шмуэль, хотя он может и не осознавать, что сотни заключенных казнены, знает, что его считают гражданином третьего класса - или даже «не лицом», - и очень осторожен, чтобы не вызвать гнев охранников вокруг лагерь.
Попросите учеников прикрепить раскадровку к статье, требующей подробного объяснения элемента в романе, или соедините это задание с презентацией.
(Эти инструкции полностью настраиваемы. После нажатия «Копировать действие» обновите инструкции на вкладке «Редактировать» задания.)
Создайте раскадровку, идентифицирующую сходства и различия между двумя персонажами в «Мальчик в полосатой пижаме».
Introduce graphic organizers such as Venn diagrams or T-charts to help students visually compare and contrast Bruno and Shmuel’s traits, motivations, and actions. Visual tools encourage critical thinking and make abstract comparisons more concrete for students.
Demonstrate how to read passages and think aloud about each character’s perspective, using key passages from the novel. Modeling helps students understand how to look for evidence in the text and make thoughtful inferences about characters.
Organize small group or partner discussions where students share their findings about Bruno and Shmuel. Collaborative talk allows students to discover new viewpoints and refine their analysis.
Have students write a diary entry or letter from the perspective of either Bruno or Shmuel. Creative writing encourages empathy and a deeper connection with each character’s experiences and feelings.
Invite students to create posters, digital slides, or storyboards showcasing their character comparisons. Visual presentations help students synthesize information and build confidence in sharing their insights with the class.
To help students compare Bruno and Shmuel, guide them to track character traits, actions, and perspectives as they read. Encourage using worksheets or storyboards to document similarities and differences, then discuss findings in pairs or groups.
Bruno is curious but unaware of the camp's reality, while Shmuel understands his situation as a prisoner and is more cautious. Their backgrounds, awareness, and experiences highlight the stark contrast between their lives.
Start by introducing key characters, have students fill out comparison worksheets as they read, and wrap up by having them share and discuss their findings. Optionally, assign a writing or presentation to deepen understanding.
Comparing and contrasting characters helps students develop inference skills, understand perspective, and analyze textual evidence. It encourages higher-order thinking and supports comprehension of complex narratives.
Use worksheets with columns for similarities and differences, character trait trackers, or graphic organizers like Venn diagrams. Allow students to illustrate scenes or add notes to enhance engagement.
