can you create a fun activity for students to learn how characters respond or change as the plot moves toward a resolution

This resource outlines an activity focused on character journeys in literature, particularly examining how character changes relate to plot developments and resolutions. Through specific examples, such as the character arc of the Grinch and a case study on the book 'Wonder,' students will analyze key moments of character change, understand the impact of these changes on the story's resolution, and participate in interactive exercises like organizing character transformation cards. The activity promotes critical thinking and reflection on character development, using guiding questions and sentence stems to facilitate discussion and personal insights.
