Character Analysis Sidewalk Characters
By Beth Hammett
Character traits and analysis fun!
Have some outdoor fun (or use butcher paper for indoors) with sidewalk novel characters! Students choose a character from their novels then do body outlines with sidewalk chalk. Fill these with physical and character traits from quotes within the novel...full directions for implementing and making a competitive game. Can be used with all ages and novels. Excellent for comprehension and assessment.

The Unit can be followed chapter by chapter, with no extra preparation or planning required by the teacher.

It has been designed to promote thinking and comprehension. Tasks can be completed independently, collaboratively or alongside a teacher.
All Book Bandit Novel Studies have been designed with student engagement at the forefront. In responding to the book, students will be required to think both within and beyond the text. Children learn best when they are having fun! Even better that they are learning the love of books at the same time!
