This is a character study graphic organizer. It allows for words as well as pictures, and is a great culmination activity for a novel if used as a poster. It is also a pre-writing activity if you are asking for an essay analyzing a character.
This graphic organizer can be used with any multi-dimensional character in a novel. I often assign each child in my reading group a different character to focus on during the novel, and we analyze aspects of their personality. You can easily change the categories if you need to.

I've been teaching since 2000. I taught sheltered 6th grade in a low-income district near Chicago for 4 years, and 3rd and 4th grade for two years. I also taught 2nd and 3rd grade summer school. I earned National Board Certification in 2008. I currently work as an ESL/ELL specialist teacher for K-5. I do both small group (pull-out) teaching as well as co-teaching in regular classrooms.
