Track Monkey King’s behaviour as the story develops. Is he a goodie or a baddie?

Debjani Chatterjee calls Monkey King a ‘loveable rogue’ but is he more ‘rogue’ than ‘loveable’ or vice versa? Help the children to make up their minds by recording Monkey King’s ups and downs in this chart.

Use alongside the ‘Monkey business’ lesson in the Food topic.
