Description

Middle school writing has never been so much fun! A full week's (plus, actually) of engaging teaching materials! This middle school language arts resource is also included in a popular bundle - check it out!

Student ♥ Engagement Bundle of Language Arts Lessons for Middle and High School

Character analysis essay with rubric included. High interest characterization activities which include scoring guides for monologue, sketch, and character analysis plus a character questionnaire to help create details about character. Lots of arts infusion. Additions to the packet include visual characterization, elements of performance, actor's notes, motivation and action, favorite character, and hamartia handouts.

This set of lessons has been a favorite way to learn the process of characterization for my sixth-, eighth-, and ninth-graders (tweaked to meet the needs of different levels). It's one of those lessons that's amazingly well received - more so than I expected. Not only did they absolutely love it - but so many of them took it to the next level and found real self-expression throughout the assignment.

Give as a homework assignment and/or provide time in class. You can do as much or as little of this as it fits your needs. This project will take up to a week, if you do all aspects in class - but that's totally up to you. Either way, you'll find it a great creative outlet for your Language Arts students. Rubrics included.

Common Core RL3

You'll receive the original PDF as well as an editable, printer-friendly PPTX copy of the assignments and scoring guides. Your students will love these lessons!
