What educators are saying
A worksheet you can use over the course of the year with any characters to help students practice characterization, character traits, and inferencing!
I used this with a few different texts over the school year. My students found it engaging every time. The familiar format really allowed them to see improvement in their analysis over the course of the year.
Description
Creating character silhouettes is the perfect activity for the close reading of character or a figure from an assigned or selected fiction or nonfiction text. This activity can be used with any grade level and can be used to reinforce the ideas of character and characterization. It can be done during or after reading any short story, novel, play, or nonfiction text.
Students will analyze a character or individual's traits, thoughts, words, feelings and emotions, past and future, and influences on him/her.
