This worksheet is ideal to use when looking at the way the sneaky, cunning rat is portrayed in Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White.

Ideal to use after finishing the book, your students can look back and find examples from the text to record information about Templeton’s appearance, character traits, actions and motivations. The worksheet also requires students to infer meaning by answering questions about why the author chose a rat for the character and why the other characters have a bad feeling about Templeton.

When you are ready to start the task, you can simply print the one-page worksheet and begin. A handy answer page is also provided.
