Anchor Chart | Fiction | Foldable | Freebie | Reading
Fiction is all about Character! *Freebie!

To do this, we’re using a few different books. I really recommend using short stories with upper elementary students.
Books like Every Living Thing by Cynthia Rylant and Baseball in April and Other Stories by Gary Soto make the perfect vehicle for giving kids multiple opportunities for analyzing different characters within a short time span!
To give kids a handle on character analysis, we started building this anchor chart.
We added something different to it with each lesson, making sure that we were focused on analyzing elements of character that hit our TEKS and standards!
It was a lot to fit on one chart, but we did it!
To focus on character conflicts, we created a foldable and a simple graphic organizer.

These are some charts we’ve used at other times to support character analysis:

WOW…way to dig into the text and analyze the characters!
Thanks! We're hoping a strong focus on character will support student understanding of fiction!
I LOVE this post and have pinned your anchor chart and one of the foldables. Thanks for the freebie! Keep up the HEART work!!
