Willy Wonka takes center stage in a lesson about direct and indirect characterization. Scholars read a passage from the story about Wonka's Grand Entrance and watch a film clip of the same, noting examples of direct and indirect characterization. Groups then demonstrate what they have learned about characterization as they repeat the process after reading a passage from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and watching a clip from that film. To end the lesson, groups are assigned different characters from the Willy Wonka story and create a profile that includes examples of direct and indirect characterization.
