This three-day CCSS-aligned lesson plan includes Common Core State Standards, a learning objectives, fun activities, and handouts designed as an introduction to characterization through both reading and writing. These lessons can be easily adapted to meet the needs of middle or high school students at varying levels, for English Language Learners, or for Special Education students!

Developing powerful characters is one of the most effective ways authors attract readers.  Unfortunately, many students often lack the basic skill of understanding characterization by making inferences, reading between the lines, and analyzing character development.  For this reason, I developed this series of fun lesson plans to help students understand, analyze, and synthesize their knowledge of characterization in an engaging way!

Feedback and reviews are appreciated!
