Activity #2

Characterization

2. Glue in the list of characterization words
3. Glue in the characterization Graphic Organizer

Now Work on the characterization graphic Organizer

Directions:

Warm-up

• Take 60 seconds. On the list of descriptive words for characters circle any words that you think describe Max. Share these words as a whole group. 
• Answer the Follow up question. How do you know that about Max? 

Next

• Each table groups will get assigned a different characterization clue. 
• Work with your group to find an example from the book that fits in to your characterization clue category.
• Ask yourself, What is something that Max (thinks, says, feels, chooses, or does?)
• Write the event/example from the text in the appropriate box in the graphic organizer
• Then based off that example write an inference about Max.
• If you finish your assigned Characterization clue, your group may go on to work on others.
• When everyone is done a member of each group will be responsible to share their text example and inference with the whole group 

To begin, Start with a conversation with your groups members.

Ask yourself these 2 questions: 

1. What do you know about Max?
2. How do you know it?

Have a great Day!
