This unit breaks down individual skills of character analysis with practice activities. This is a unit I have been perfecting over the last 5 years, continually using student data to improve the unit each year. It is very thorough and possible for teachers to just open it and run with it.

It includes:

• 76 slide length slideshow which takes the students (and you) step by step through the process from brainstorming to writing a 5 paragraph character analysis essay
• 13 support documents including: outline, essay graphic organizer, model example, character analysis prompts

For an entire character analysis unit around a text, check out my lesson titled: Character Analysis: Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.
