Characters are built with more than just what the author directly says about a character (ex: she is smart). Help your pupils focus on several elements of characterization with a graphic organizer that has space for two characters. Individuals take notes on the character's thoughts and dialogue, the description of physical appearance, the character's actions, and what other characters say about the character in question.
