Really like this activity. We have been using character/family charts to keep up with the traits and events, and I plan to have the students use this next week with the charts as a reference.

This is excellent and very useful. All I have to do is change the page number for the text.

I love that students have choices for this assignment. One question refers to a resume, which I assume is a prior assignment. There are two non-written options, so this would be especially good for my students who do not like to write.

Dear Greta,
My name is Jack Dennison. I am the Editor-in-Chief of www.FunnelBrain.com, an educational website. I am writing to you because the quality of the work you have posted to PTP distinguishes you as a talented author. I am looking for teacher-authors to create custom study review materials for FunnelBrain (on a paid basis, of course).
These study materials would take the form of online flashcards, quizzes, and study guides for high school and college level courses, as well as for certain standardized exams such as the GMAT, the SAT or the GRE. We are also interested in lesson plans built around activities that can take place on www.FunnelBrain.com.
If you are interested in a paid writing assignment, please email me at jack@funnelbrain.com, and I will respond with details on the available assignments. In the meantime, please feel free to browse FunnelBrain.com.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Jack Dennison
