Character Frames
This strategy helps students select and describe a character from a story, and then present evidence to justify the characters description. The students can also use this strategy as a way of comparing/contrasting between two different characters from either the same story or from another.
The students choose a character that they wish to describe in detail.
The students complete a character frame by filling in information about the character under three headings: character, personality characteristics, and evidence. The evidence comes from the story and supports the personality characteristics.
- The students share and discuss their character frames with the class.
