Analyze characters' motivations, traits, conflicts, and relationships to make inferences about the character. My teachers grades 3 – 5 are working hard on introducing fiction to their kids. We’ve built in tons of read alouds and shared reading experiences to help kids practice noticing, finding evidence, and making inferences about characters.
 

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.
