Work in pairs. Describe the characters from the first column of the chart on page 229. What do you know about them?

This is a pair activity that requires discussion and sharing of knowledge about characters. Here's how you might approach it:

• For each character (Fred Flinstone, Batman, Jasmine, Hello Kitty, Mickey Mouse, The Pink Panther, Pinocchio, Superman, Snow White), share what you know.
• Example for Fred Flinstone: "I know Fred Flinstone is from the cartoon 'The Flintstones'. He lives in a prehistoric world with his family and his best friend Barney Rubble. He works at a quarry."
• Example for Batman: "Batman is a superhero from Gotham City. His real name is Bruce Wayne, and he fights crime using his intelligence, detective skills, and special gadgets. He doesn't have superpowers."
• Example for Jasmine: "Jasmine is a princess from the movie Aladdin. She is adventurous and wants more freedom than her royal life allows. She falls in love with Aladdin."
• Example for Hello Kitty: "Hello Kitty is a popular character from Sanrio. She's a white cat with a red bow, known for her simple and cute design. She represents friendship and kindness."
• Example for Mickey Mouse: "Mickey Mouse is an iconic character created by Walt Disney. He's a cheerful mouse who often appears with his girlfriend Minnie Mouse and his dog Pluto. He's known for his high-pitched voice and red shorts."
• Example for The Pink Panther: "The Pink Panther is an animated character, a panther known for his cool demeanor and is often involved in adventures, usually trying to foil a clumsy burglar. He's also the name of a famous diamond in the movies."
• Example for Pinocchio: "Pinocchio is a wooden puppet who wants to become a real boy. His nose grows longer when he tells a lie. He goes on many adventures and learns important lessons about honesty and bravery."
• Example for Superman: "Superman is a superhero from the planet Krypton. His real name is Clark Kent. He has superpowers like super strength, flight, and heat vision. He fights for justice."
