Learning About Characters

We have been learning about characters.  A character is a person, animal or object come to life in a movie or book.

We have used several different methods to extend our learning:

• character webs: all the things we know about the character
• venn diagrams: comparing similarities and difference between characters
•  predictions: predicting character actions
• & thinking about why we like certain characters.

Below, we wrote about our favorite character in the book, The Falling Leaves by Steve Metzger.


What I liked about my favorite yellow leaf was when the wind blew the leaf away.


I am drawing Red Oak.  He falls in the mud.

Purple Beech

I am Purple Beech because I like mud.
