List of Character Traits | Comprehensive Word Banks | Hero's Journey

New and improved! Build your writing toolbox. Check out this extensive list of adjectives to track character development. Have students "shop" for adjectives to describe characters and then support their theories using textual evidence. Great for writing conferences, class discussions, and as a handy student reference. One student deemed it "word heaven." Now with 2 differentiated versions--a "fat" version with more choices and a "skinny" version with more white space! Let students choose which one they prefer. My kids put it in their "yellow pages" reference section. Happy teaching! Follow me for more teacher and tutor tools. Take care of yourselves. Our world depends on it.
