Character Traits Task Cards for Inferencing and Analyzing Characters

Created by

Wonderful library lesson! Great back to school activity. Understanding character traits is an essential literacy skill for students. Recognizing and making inferences about behaviors associated with certain character traits is not always intuitive for our students; therefore, they need lots of opportunities to practice. Acquiring the vocabulary with which they are able to describe character traits is critical as well. In addition, they also need to learn to cite evidence to support their answer
