Character Analysis | Halloween Activity Any Text | Characterization
- PDF
Description
Need a quick writing activity that works with any fiction text? I love to do lit circles, but it's often challenging to craft rigorous activities that suit every text. This Character Eulogy is the perfect any-text writing activity that blends real- world writing with fiction texts! Students demonstrate their ability to write with a specific tone AND dig into the text to find evidence that will help them craft a masterful somber (or silly) eulogy for a character from their novel!
Here’s what you get:
- A two sided task sheet with directions, brainstorming, and writing space
- One page of sentence frames to support scaffolding ( and directions for easy further scaffolding)
- Two different rubrics: one that includes a presentation and one that doesn’t
- Directions for prep and implementation, with scaffolding and extensions!
This activity is PERFECT for a lit circle or choice novel unit, or if you need an easy to implement writing activity throughout a novel study. I keep this in my back pocket for halloween, unexpected sub days, or when I need to do a comprehension check with students.
If you love this activity, you might also be interested in my other novel study resources!
Don't forget that leaving feedback earns you points toward FREE TPT purchases, so let me know how everything is working out!
