| |Before Reading: |
| | |
| |After Reading: Spend a little time talking about the story and the children’s thoughts. It definitely requires some time to talk it |
| |out. Once the students have expressed what they need to, show them the ABC chart. Explain that they are going to use this to think of |
| |adjectives that describe the characters. You can do this as a class or have them do it on their own. If on their own you will want to |
| |demonstrate first. Choose a different color pen for each of the characters. Write the character’s name in the appropriate color at the|
| |top of the page. The adjectives that describe the characters will be written in the appropriate letter box in the appropriate color. |
| |Those characteristics that apply to both characters can either be written twice in each of the colors or in a third color. Once they |
| |have identified all that they can they then have a visual to progress to writing a paragraph that compares the two characters (using the|
| |adjectives that they wrote on the chart) and one the contrasts them. |
| | |
| | |
|Assessment | The completed paragraphs can be used to assess their ability to identify characteristics of the main characters of a story. |
