Do your students understand what character traits are, but can't seem to infer character traits based on the evidence from the text?

This PowerPoint teaches students a step-by-step strategy, called "Think F.A.S.T." which focuses on character's feelings, actions, sayings, and thoughts, to understand their traits.

It is great to use as a guided lesson to introduce or review the skill. Students will learn to think deeply about a character's feelings, actions, sayings, and thoughts in order to understand their traits.

Here's what's included...

• Character Traits PowerPoint Lesson - A step-by-step guided lesson describing the steps of the Think F.A.S.T Strategy with a passage to practice it
• 1 practice passage - Digital and printable so students can follow along with the presentation.
• 1 Think F.A.S.T. Graphic Organizer
• 1 Think F.A.S.T. Paragraph Frame
• 1 Exit Ticket to accompany the passage/PowerPoint
• Answer Keys

Use the PowerPoint as a modeled and guided practice to teach the Think F.A.S.T. Strategy, and the student printables for student engagement and to monitor learning!
