Character Traits Reading Response.

Students will be bringing home another reading response this week.  It will be due Friday, November 21.  The focus is on character traits.  Students are getting better at identifying traits and providing evidence from the text.  Many students are still getting this mixed up with general feelings.  Please discuss the characters with your child.  Students should be able to provide evidence for their thinking.  To help students become more successful, feel free to give them the character trait but have them give the evidence.  They are still developing the vocabulary for different character traits.

Here are some we have discussed:

greedy, responsible, respectful, anxious, strong, friendly, hardworking, lazy, honest, brave, compassionate, unkind, rude, determined, smart

Please let me know if you have questions.
