Activity #1

Characterization

1. Glue in the notes on 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!
