"By "becoming" a character in a novel they have read and making lists from that character's perspective, students analyze the character while also enriching their vocabulary. Students gain a deeper understanding of a character by creating charts linking the character's actions with the character's traits. They explore adjectives through a variety of resources. They then use their analysis of the character and their knowledge of adjectives to create descriptive lists of their own three other characters from the novel. The worksheet instructions in the lesson use Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone as an example, but this activity is effective with any work of literature in which characterization is important."

This lesson does an excellent job of addressing the reading and language standards put forth by common core curriculum and the AASL standards. It incites students to gather knowledge of new vocabulary, consult references, use context clues, cite textual evidence, and explore points of view. Sixth Grade Common Core Crosswalk CC.6.R.I.3 Key Ideas and Details: Analyze in detail how a key individual, event, or idea is introduced, illustrated, and elaborated in a text (e.g., through examples or anecdotes). CC.6.R.I.6 Craft and Structure: Determine an author's point of view or purpose in a text and explain how it is conveyed in the text. AASL Standards 1.1.6 Read, view, and listen for information presented in any format (e.g., textual, visual, media, digital) in order to make inferences and gather meaning. 3.1.3 Use writing and speaking skills to communicate new understandings effectively.

Standard: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.7 Compare and contrast the experience of reading a story, drama, or poem to listening to or viewing an audio, video, or live version of the text, including contrasting what they "see" and "hear" when reading the text to what they perceive when they listen or watch. Encourage students to explore what a character is thinking or feeling while they read so that they form a deeper sense of understanding of the characters. This will also help students when they watch the same story in a video or live performance to be able to compare/contrast the literary and visual elements of the story. Suggested Use: Use with students before they begin a novel study so that they can form a deeper understanding of the character and their motives.
