"What, of This Goldfish, Would You Wish?" Indirect Characterization Organizer
This is a graphic organizer that I use to teach indirect characterization with this short story. Students look for textual evidence, infer character traits, determine how the author reveals the traits, and try to ascertain character motivations. This is a great during-reading or post-reading activity. I usually give students time to complete the chart and then we fill it in from the Promethean Board as we discuss answers. Answers are in red on the second graphic organizer.
