Learning objectives
• Understand anthropomorphism and its importance in literature and theatre
• Understand an author’s craft (character, setting, mood) and describe in terms of anthropomorphism how animals are often represented by particular human qualities
A lesson for KS3 and KS4 students, taking inspiration from Disney’s The Lion King, to introduce the concept of anthropomorphism and explore how writers develop animal characters and bring them to life.
Students discuss how species of animals are usually given specific human qualities, and complete an activity sheet to aid discussion on the human qualities associated with different animals.
The lesson can be a great starting point for exploring and discussing characterisation, narrative devices and figurative language in literature, as well as understanding the importance of anthropomorphism in the theatre.
