HUH? WHAT’S A CHARACTER TRAIT?
DID YOU SAY CHARACTER TRAIN????
Character Trait. Adjective. Describing word.
OH! I GET IT!
How to help our youngest readers and writers to add more DEPTH to stories?
How to help them analyze a story and determine the details of a character?
WHY?
I want my students to interact with story characters.
I want them to summarize, sequence, use inferences.
I want them to compare and contrast story elements.
I want them to draw conclusions, and problem-solve.
But most of all, I want them to LOVE reading and writing!
My little ones ( First Grade ) are just learning about print.
So, HOW do I help them discover the good/bad qualities of a story character?
And help them decipher the changes that can AND SHOULD, occur?
TALK. WHAT? TALK!
If you want your youngins’ to expand their knowledge base, YOU have to TALK!
TALK…READ….WRITE!
