Westing Game Character Sketches

Students will use direct quotes from the text to visualize what each character in the Westing Game by Ellen Raskin looks like and then draw their visualization. This activity uses reading strategies, visualization, support from text, and characterization. There is one page for each of the 19 characters in the Westing Game book. Westing Game is a 5th grade level book, so I use it with my higher readers in my 3rd grade class. They LOVE this book!
