In addition to learning about traits, we also ask students to observe how the characters change through time. Characters are typically not static, but are rather dynamic, changing across the story plot. It is important that students record evidence during their reading, and this organizer may help your readers too. It comes from Ms. Sanchez’s Fourth Grade website. I love how it ties to the plot events.
If you click on the picture below, it is linked to a pdf that is hotlinked to Youtube videos of Jamie O’Rourke, Strega Nona, and Amazing Grace. Here is a link to materials you can use for The Library Dragon.
I used Amazing Grace on my post! I love the question stems you posted to get the kids thinking. Thanks for sharing!

Carla, I agree, there were so many excellent choices for teaching characterization. Your selections were perfect! The graphic organizers you provided will be useful for students to organize their thinking about the characters. Thanks for linking up.
