Character Trait: Final Assessment

30 minutes

Reflection: Differentiation

Today is the final assessment for character traits. The passage I chose can be found here. The graphic organizer they are going to use has three columns- one for the character, one for the trait and one for the evidence. The assessment gives the students the choice of which character they analyze. They can analyze one character three times or three characters one time. It doesn't matter as long as they can find evidence in the text.
