This term in Grade 8 English, students are engaged in a focused study of the Robin Hood legend, specifically through Michael Morpurgo's novel, Outlaw.

Students have begun the process of reading the text to identify specific character traits exhibited by key figures within the narrative. This involves careful consideration of their actions, dialogue, and interactions with other characters. 

The culmination of this unit will be a formal essay requiring students to articulate a comprehensive understanding of the identified character traits and their significance within the context of the novel. The objective is to develop students analytical and writing skills through a rigorous exploration of literary characterisation.
