Character Analysis Lessons & Activities: This bundle includes a series of mini-lessons and activities that will give your students a deeper understanding of the strategies used for character development.

Each lesson focuses on a different method that writers use to develop character; then, students are given a task to do as they read, one that focuses on what they learn in the lesson.

The process can be used for both full-class texts and independent novels to help students learn the skills they need to analyze any character.

• Student Task Sheets
