The kids LOVED our character traits kick-off lesson this week! They each did an amazing job. To start the week off I explained to the kids that character traits were words that could describe us on the inside or outside. After brainstorming positive traits I had the kids make their own character traits on personal busts. This lesson led into more character trait lessons with picture books. Students were able to describe a character's actions in the beginning of a book through the end of the book. After they describe how the character changed or completed a character analysis.
After introducing personal character traits, we moved into Wemberly Worried. I have a student who is just like Wemberly! This was a great opportunity to help them through their anxiety and work on our comprehension at the same time. The kids love to put together projects so I made them a folder activity that helped us to see how Wemberly changes in the book.
