This resource should provide enough detail for you and your students to practice the art of studying characters and applying it to other literature. While the source is detailed enough to understand the project, I purposefully left certain aspects of the project open to your interpretation so you may grade/give examples as you see fit. My students loved projects like these, and I loved getting to see them be excited about their own creativity when presenting.

This project does not have to be presented, so it may just take one or two days of class time (depending on what you wanted them to do for homework as well), but I normally like to give them two days of class time and two days of presentation, then a quiz at the end of the week on characterization that also involves more application of such skill sets.

The rubric is a simple yes/somewhat/no kind of rubric. You can make the project worth however many points you need and clarify with students what needed improvement in the “teacher notes” section of the rubric, and the directions are easy enough to manipulate to make your own version of the project to best fit the needs of your classroom!
