Created by

Use this character thought bubble graphic organizer any way you like! I like to have students think about how a character changes over the course of a story or novel, so there are 3 bubbles-- beginning, middle, and end. On the back of the page, I have students explain the evolution of the character in an analytical paragraph.

About the store

Experience

For 33 years as a public high school English teacher, I have written my own materials to address the needs of my students. I have taught standard-level, ESL, honors, AP, and dual enrollment level courses.

Teaching style

I think questions are at the core of learning. The goal is to have students create their own probing questions about what they are reading and to form the basis of their research and writing.
