Read the extract from 'Tell Me No Lies' and complete activity 1. 

Activity 1

Extract 1 focuses primarily on the character of Gemma.

Look in the text and find this section: ‘Gemma sighed.’

Using the text, write a detailed summary paragraph that explains why Gemma sighed.

You will need to refer to the extract in your explanation.

Now read extract 2 and complete activity 2

Activity 2

Revisit the text and focus on the character of Mike. He appears to be very angry in this extract.

What does the writer tell us about him through description? What do we find out about his mood through what he says and how he reacts to Nan and Gramps?

Write a short paragraph to explain how we know that Mike is angry in this extract.

You could use the following answer stems:

• Mike is angry because it says .............................................

• ............................................. shows that Mike is angry because .............................................

• The writer shows us that Mike is angry when she says .............................................

Have a great day!
