Character profile - 'The Wreck of the Zanzibar'
Write about a character from the book by filling in the fact file. Choose one of the existing templates or pick from the final ones to do a different character.
Where the picture needs filling in, use the drawing tools or import an image from somewhere else using the cog icon. Experiment with the different drawing tools. There are additional colours, if you need them, available from the buttons in the bottom left. You could drag text labels onto your picture from the [A] tab on the right.
