A wonderful way to delve into character analysis! Really gets students of all ages to think about what a character is truly made of. For example, this simple web can help a student to analyze Anne Frank’s character.

 

 

Follow These Easy Steps:

  1. Fill out the LOOKS section with phrases — no need for complete sentences here! Consider: distinguishing features, clothing/style, stylish or plain, neatness level, how much he/she pays attention to appearance, whether or not he/she spends a lot of money on appearance, etc.
  2. Fill out the ACTS section with phrases. Consider: behaviors often displayed, moodiness level that is shown, whether introverted or extroverted most of the time, flirtatious, shy, humorous, loving toward certain people, etc.
  3. Fill out the FEELS section with phrases. Consider: happy, angry, sad, scared, joyful, optimistic, distressed, judgmental, easily upset, jealous, hopeful about something, etc.
  4. Fill out the SAYS section with quotations (whole or parts) straight from the text: choose things the character says that truly represent how the character thinks, feels, and acts in general.

Note: You can click on the web below to see it full size, and then snip/paste it. Or, it is also available free in easy-print and Google Slide versions, along with 5 other free graphic organizers in my free Analyzing Characterization Pack. And, if you’d like to see samples of how all 6 of the organizers are used to analyze 6 different characters from 6 different stories, then check out this related blog post.

See the example below showing characterization analysis of Anne Frank.

Since teaching ELA for 10 years, I’ve been a contracted learning resource and assessment writer while running my store “Loving Language Arts.” I know how to align to standards like the back of my hand, yet I always aim to make resources high-interest to motivate reluctant readers and writers.
