Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:

 |  |  |
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory written by Roald Dahl is one of the best loved children's books of all times. It truly stands the test of time, as is evident by the remake of the original movie, which now stars Johnny Depp.
I was 7 years old when my mother read this story to my while I was in the hospital for over a month, and it whisked my imagination away to Willy Wonka's amazing chocolate factory and his delicious inventions. Today, my students still love reading this book!

Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory Group Project
$7.50
One of my students' favorite projects about this book is my Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory Group Project (see above). For this project, students work together to write and draw a picture about the main events that happened in the Chocolate Room, Invention Room, Nut Room, and Television Room. They also write a character description and draw a picture of Willy Wonka, Charlie Bucket, and the Oompa-Loompas. My students love completing this project with the members from their group!
This classroom display is from Lisa's classroom,
she teaches Grade 4 in Connecticut.
This set includes step by step directions on how to assemble the 10 pages of templates into a large chocolate factory.
Depending on the age of your students, you could assemble these ahead of time for your students, each Chocolate Factory takes me under 10 minutes to assemble myself. I have given my fifth grade students the direction sheets, and they were able to assemble their projects themselves.
There are 3 pages of directions, the first 2 are shown below.
This is a cooperative group project and students begin their projects by completing their first drafts together. Students should proofread and edit their first drafts together before they begin their final drafts.The writing responses for this project include students writing about the main events that happened in the Chocolate Room, The Nut Room, The Invention Room, and the Television Chocolate Room. In these sections, the group members describe what happened to August Gloop, Violet Beauregarde, Veruca Salt, and Mike Teavee. This group project also requires the group members to write a character description for Willy Wonka, Charlie Bucket, and the Oompa-Loompas.
Below are the 4 first draft worksheets that are included in this set of teaching resources for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
This unique and fun group project for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory includes 10 worksheets with templates that assemble into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
The finished project measures 22 inches in width and 20 inches in height.
After the students have described the main events that happened in Willy Wonka's 4 rooms and described Willy Wonka, Charlie Bucket, and the Oompa-Loompas, there is an area on each template for the group members to draw these events and characters.
Your students will love working on this large group project together and the finished projects make a dynamic classroom or hallway display.
Below are examples of the 10 worksheet templates.
When I am introducing this project to my students, I like to provide a visual example of a completed project for my students to see at the front of the classroom. I have included color templates for you to use in order to save you time in having to color these templates yourself.Below are examples of the 10 color worksheet templates.
After each group has completed their projects, they can evaluate their project using the group project grading rubric that is provided in this set. After the group has graded their project, there is also an area on this rubric for the teacher to evaluate the project.
Creating bulletin board displays is a time consuming task for teachers. To save you time in preparing your Charlie and the Chocolate Factory bulletin board display, I have provided two different banners for you to use for your classroom displays.
Each banner that is included in this teacher resource set is 5 pages that are assembled together. Below are examples of the two bulletin board display banners that are included in this set.
Finally, to help you in preparing your bulletin board display, I have included 8 bulletin board accent pieces in this set.

There are 8 separate resource sets, one for each character, so each set is individualized for that particular character.

Each character's set of resources contains 10 pages:

- First draft writing worksheets (3 pages)
- Final draft templates (3 pages)
- Grading rubric (1 page)
Since this set of teaching resources contains materials for 8 different characters, and there are 10 individualized worksheets for each character, this teaching resource set contains 80 pages of printable teaching materials.
In addition, this Charlie and the Chocolate Factory set of teaching resources includes a 5 page bulletin board display banner (see photograph above) and character name cards to use for your finished bulletin board display.
1. Above: Each set includes a set of directions on how to fold a piece of construction paper to form the character body templates. The only material that is needed to complete this step is a piece of construction paper that measures 12 inches by 18 inches. For the two girl characters, Veruca Salt and Violet Beuregarde, these directions are a bit different so that the character body has a skirt, instead of pants. (Please note that the above example is missing some of the steps in directions.)
2. Above: Each set includes a set of directions on how to glue the final draft templates onto the character's body. Each of these sets of gluing directions is slightly different due to the writing topics for the 8 different characters.
3. Above: Each set includes three pages of first draft writing worksheets. Students should complete their first drafts, edit and revise them, and then they should start on their final draft of their projects. Each character contains three different writing topics. In addition, students have to select 10 adjectives that describe their characters.
Each character's writing topics are slightly different. For example:
For Willy Wonka, students describe Willy Wonka and his Chocolate Factory, describe his Golden Ticket Contest, and explain why Willy Wonka decided to give his Chocolate Factory to Charlie Bucket. For Violet Beauregarde, students describe The Nut Room and what happened to her in that room, how she won the 3rd Golden Ticket, and advice to Violet on how she can improve her attitude, behavior, and actions.
4. Above: Each set includes three pages of final draft writing templates. After students have written their final drafts, they cut out these pieces and glue them on their character's body according to the direction sheet.Each of the 8 characters final draft templates are slightly different in the writing topics inside the text boxes, but all of the text boxes are the same size for all 8 characters.
5. Above: Each set includes a grading rubric. There is a section for students to evaluate themselves, as well as section for teachers to evaluate the students on this rubric. Since each of the 8 characters contain slightly different writing topics, each grading rubric is individualized with that character's name on it and the writing topics for that character.
6. Above: This set includes 8 character name cards (Willy Wonka, Charlie Bucket, Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, Mike Teavee, Grandpa Joe, and Oompa - Loompa) for you to use as labels for your bulletin board display of these unique Charlie and the Chocolate Factory student projects.
7. Above: To help save you time in preparing your bulletin board display of your students' Charlie and the Chocolate Factory character body projects, this set includes a 5 page bulletin board display banner.Your students will be enthusiastic about completing these fun and unique projects about the characters from Roald Dahl's novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
You can let your students chose which character they want to do a project on, or you can assign a different character to each student. These projects also work well as collaborative group projects.
If you are planning a Roald Dahl Day, these character bodies are a fantastic idea to use as a project for students to have ready and completed for your Roald Dahl Day.
I have my students dress up in costumes as their character on this day. They have to get up in front of their classmates and share their project and give a short speech pretending to be that character.
Above: This student has dressed up as Willy Wonka. In the directions sheets provided, students are encouraged to use their imagination and add additional decorations to their character's body that would individualize them. This student has put a top hat on his Willy Wonka project and in Willy's hand, he is carrying a cane.
Above: This student has dressed up as Veruca Salt. I love this picture because it shows how involved this girl's mother was with helping her prepare for our Roald Dahl Day. She is wearing a dress that matches the fabric that she used for her Veruca Salt character report.
Above: This student has dressed up as Violet Beauregarde. This student has individualized her project by having a big chewing gum bubble in front of Violet's face. She's also dressed Violet in blue and wore the same matching color herself. This student was very excited to give her speech in front of the class because she was allowed to chew gum while she delivered her speech!
Above: This student has dressed up as Charlie Bucket. This student has found a hat to wear similar to the one that he designed for his character.I hope that your students enjoy creating these Roald Dahl projects as much as mine have over the years!
Here are some additional examples of Roald Dahl character body book reports from some of his other novels.In the photo above, my students have chosen the following characters: Mr. Twit from The Twits, Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Big Friendly Giant from The BFG, and Matilda from Matilda.
Above is a picture from Roald Dahl Day. I am dressed as Willy Wonka and my student is dressed as Farmer Bunce from Fantastic Mr. Fox. He made an Enormous Crocodile sandwich to share with his classmates.
For this Roald Dahl Day, I am dressed up as Amanda Thrip from the book Matilda. My three students are dressed up as Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
