A large part of this novel study is discussion-based. I have included a slide on the slideshow where you will put your classroom expectations for discussions.

*** BOOKMARKS WITH VOCABULARY INCLUDED!!!

You just stumbled upon an amazing character analysis resource that can be used with any novel or even short story! Students will be asked to track and analyze how the main character grows and changes throughout the literary text. Using "post-it's" students will determine character traits and then find evidence from the Beginning, the Middle and the End of the novel. Students will then Elaborate that evidence in their own words to connect how the evidence they chose truly reflects the character trait!

The best part is that students can work in pairs or small groups! This is a game-changer when teaching virtually and I have found that students look forward to working on these types of projects. I change partners and have students complete it for each novel we read! I would give them several class periods to complete this project, and I tend to assign it as a culminating activity...which can even replace an assessment!

This Digital Character Shift Chart for Group Work with any Novel includes one colorful graphic organizer and 18 color-coordinated and formatted post-it's specifically designed to reinforce character analysis and reading comprehension Feel free to print and laminate or share virtually through Google Classroom, Seesaw or Canvas! Assign individually , but pairs work best! Since it's a Google Slide you can always duplicate the main slide to however many groups you have and have ALL the students in your class work SIMULTANEOUSLY on the same document as you supervise! Only one document to have to open and grade!

I always post the three posters below as references but a character trait list is essential.

Feel free to use the detailed instructions below to post to your virtual students!

✅ Each student will be assigned a partner.

✅ Think about how the main character of the novel has grown and changed from the beginning of the novel until now. You will track his/her growth by analyzing the character traits at the beginning, middle, and end of the novel.

✅ Each group is responsible for finding 3 character traits for the beginning, 3 for the middle and 3 for the end.

Under EVIDENCE, ➡️ State the character trait ➡️ Quote evidence from the chapter or chapters indicated.

Under ELABORATION ➡️ Elaborate that quote IN 2-3 SENTENCES.

How does that quote convey how the character displays the trait you chose? Use vocabulary words whenever possible.

✅ I have completed the first post-it set as a sample.

Help your students keep track of all the animals in Aimal Farm! Revolutionize your literature classroom with the interactive Google Slides, designed to engage middle and high school students in deeply exploring George Orwell's classic allegory. Print the pennants to display in your classroom as easy, quick visual reminders! This versatile and comprehensive resource empowers students to track character development, analyze critical quotes, and delve into the symbolic representation of animals in the story, all while fostering critical thinking and visual literacy skills.

Key Components:

1. Google Slides Character Tracking: Dive into the world of Animal Farm with the Google Slides activity. Students can track characters, collect relevant quotes, and identify the symbolic representations of each animal.
