Reading - Character Study

Last week we begin our next reading unit. We are transitioning from non-fiction back to fiction for a bit. During this unit we will learn how we can get to know the characters we read about. Comprehension and deeper thinking are key goals in our reading instruction now that students are efficient decoders.

Last week we talked about identifying physical and external character traits. This week we will discuss internal qualities and traits. Students will think about how a character acts, what they say, and what they do and then describe them using character traits such as: silly, serious, happy, curious, etc., etc.
