Students formed character book clubs this week to learn more about the traits of a character they are interested in. We have been studying character traits in Pigeon books and Penguin books and now it is time for the students to experience a book club of their own. They can read independently, with a buddy or whole group. They then record their thoughts about the character traits in the book with their evidence for their thinking on a 3X5 card and place it in a paper bag. We will be collecting our thoughts this way for the next few days and after we have read a few books and have a good idea of who our characters are, we will create a representation of that character based on our opinions an evidence that supports the opinions.
