Teach your class how to identify the protagonist in a story. The plan suggests starting with a protagonist from a tale you have previously read in class. Then, you can read a new story and work together to identify the protagonist, providing evidence from the text. Finally, pupils get the chance to identify protagonists in their independent reading books. The plan uses Hansel and Gretel for the guided practice; however, you could use any story with a clear protagonist.
