Module 6: Characterization Lessons/Activities

I was looking on Pinterest and I found 3 lesson activities that dealt with characterization that I thought were so amazing and creative!


Paper Bag Characterization - so cool!!
This first activity involves students making a paper bag with different sections. On the front of the bag, students draw a picture of their main character and list the title/author. One side of the bag lists the character’s likes/dislikes. The other side lists how other characters interact with the main character. And the back panel has the character's growth throughout the novel. 


Great for teaching Characterization in reading unit. Have students create words about themselves with silhouettes or portraits!
This second activity deals with students describing themselves with 10 words. I think this is such a creative idea and absolutely love how their profiles are hung up on the board – it really makes a personal connection to each student!


Runde's Room: Characterization sticky note chart
The third activity is a simple and popular chart that we often see in classrooms. It is clear, organized, colorful, and very east for students to both contribute and follow along!
