Character Traits

We have been learning a lot in Bill Peet's fun books! We have come up with themes for all the books. All the themes teach us a lesson about life. This week, we have been looking at the individual characters and noticing that the actions and choices that they make in the story make us think certain things of them; these are called their character traits.


The book that we are using to discuss character traits is Hubert's Hair-Raising Adventure. The students picked out a character of their choice from the book and wrote 5 character traits that they saw in the character. Then, they wrote whether it is a strength or weakness for that character and mentioned a piece from the text that prove that this character had this trait. Here is the form they filled out:


Be looking for this form to come home filled out as a Standard Snapshot in the near future! If you would like to try this again with another book, download this form here and turn it in to class for success tickets!
