Character Changes Literature Response

Created by

Mrs Mama Llama

I love using this Character Changes chart with my students! It really helps them see how a character changes from the beginning of the story to the end. This is such an important skill for our readers to learn, as it helps them analyze motives, and see how events help a character grow, or deteriorate. This chart focuses on thoughts, emotions, and actions a character has. You can use it for just about any book or novel-- fiction or non-fiction! Like this resource? Try the bundle... https://
