Instructional Ideas
- Assign the worksheet as a character analysis in a story; allow pupils to choose a character from their independent reading book
- Direct class members to develop their written story's main character using the page as a prewriting activity
- When learners finish writing descriptions, instruct them to add a visual representation using the stick figure
Classroom Considerations
- Requires copies—one for every individual assigned the worksheet
Pros
- Provides adequate space for learners to write directly on the page
- A fun font adds a touch of whimsy to the assignment
Cons
