This Facebook Profile Drama Worksheet Pack contains fun activities that help students to create or
investigate characters in stories, poems, books, plays and dramas.
The aim of this drama pack is to encourage character knowledge and development. It uses a wide range
of different characters and so is suitable for all students aged 9 upwards, although many of the
characters will be most relevant to the drama curriculum at Key Stage 3.
Students should use the Facebook profile page template to create a profile for each of the characters
listed in this pack. This involves reading the relevant books, plays, poems, or stories, or watching films,
alongside completing internet searches to support any reading. The skill comes in filling in the gaps!
Where the information isn’t available, students should use their imaginations, judgment and creative
skills to produce believable profiles.

Although it can be completed in the classroom, this pack has been created as a distance learning
activity. The activities in this pack can be completed in any order.
Links to all books, poems, stories and plays can be found in Additional Information at the back of the
pack.

**Please ensure that your students have enough copies of the Facebook profile page template to
work with plus additional paper, or a drama notebook, for notes, creative writing and analysis.**

Activities
Using a different blank Facebook profile page template each time, create a Facebook profile for each of
these characters, including a relevant photo and pictures of their friends. Make each one as detailed and
accurate as you can:

1. Private Thomas Peaceful from Private Peaceful (book) by Michael Morpurgo

2. Titania from A Midsummer Night’s Dream (play) by William Shakespeare

3. The Giant in the traditional story of Jack and the Beanstalk

4. Mulan in the traditional Chinese poem The Ballad of Mulan

5. Antigone from Antigone (play) by Sophocles

6. Mickey from Blood Brothers (play) by Willy Russell

7. Eddie from Blood Brothers (play) by Willy Russell

8. The Fairy Godmother in the traditional story of Cinderella

9. Miss Trunchbull from Matilda (book) by Roald Dahl

10. Research silent movie stars. These were film stars that performed before films had sound. They
were some of the most talented, beautiful and hard-working performers in the history of film!
Create a profile for a female silent movie star – American or British.
Create a profile for a male silent movie star – American or British.

11. Create an original character. Build a life for them – likes, dislikes, hobbies, work (if any), friends,
family, relationship status, age, and so on. Create a Facebook profile for them.
Write a monologue (a solo speech) by this character of them describing something funny that
happened to them. Was it funny ‘haha’ or funny strange? Who was involved? Did the event
change any of the details on their Facebook profile? Create a new profile if it did.
Draw a photo of this event on their Facebook profile.
