This resource is designed to help students understand character traits and the reasoning behind a character's decisions in a story. The learning goal is for students to identify character traits using textual evidence. It explains what constitutes a character trait—an internal quality of a character—and what is meant by evidence, which is a detail or reason taken from the text that supports the identified trait. The document also guides students through exercises where they analyze a character from a book by identifying their traits and the evidence that supports those traits. Additionally, it introduces the concept of cause and effect in narratives, prompting students to think critically about the reasons behind a character's actions and decisions. Students are encouraged to explore these concepts through guided examples and personal reflection in writing.
