Character Changes Literature Response
I love using this Character Changes chart with my students! It really helps them see how a character changes from the beginning of the story to the end. This is such an important skill for our readers to learn, as it helps them analyze motives, and see how events help a character grow, or deteriorate. This chart focuses on thoughts, emotions, and actions a character has. You can use it for just about any book or novel-- fiction or non-fiction!

Importance of learning English language arts
English language arts (ELA) concepts — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — empower students to become effective communicators, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners. They are the foundation for all other types of learning as students must rely on ELA skills to master content from other subject areas and communicate what they’ve learned.
Strong reading skills can help students make sense of written content, and gather information for further analysis. Writing skills can help students articulate their ideas, construct arguments, and synthesize information. And speaking and listening skills empower students to clearly present their ideas, participate in group discussions, and collaborate with their classmates. This is why teaching English language arts is critically important for student’s success in school and beyond.
Benefits of learning English language arts
Learning English language arts offers many benefits to students both in school and beyond. It helps students:
- Develop effective communication skills
- Build critical thinking and analytical skills
- Nurture their creativity and imagination
By ensuring that students have a solid foundation in English language arts, teachers can help set them up for future success.
