Wishtree Character Study

Description

The characters that we are introduced to in Wishtree by Katherine Applegate are so very memorable, AND they offer us a great opportunity to instruct our students about characterization!

This unit was designed with you, the teacher, in mind. This unit will allow your students to access this novel in a deep and meaningful way. At the same time, this resource will save you time and energy. You’ll be able to spend more time connecting with this story along with your students!

 

This unit includes:

★ Character Posters: These full-color posters will help to allow your students to visualize the characters in action during the course of the novel.

★ Character Skill Charts: These charts help students keep track of character traits and characterization throughout the novel. When I use this in my own classroom, I usually pull out one page for one character each day. So, for example, I always start with Red’s internal and external characteristics. You can use these pages however you see fit!

★ Blank Character Charts: These blank charts will allow students to capture evidence of any other character in the novel that you’d like them to focus on.

★ Characterization Anchor Charts: These charts are simple, yet powerful, visuals for your students to remember the concepts behind each of the characterization concepts used throughout this resource.

 

This resource includes several different ways to meet the characters of Wishtree.

These templates are designed to work for any chapter in the book.

Characterization pages are included for Samar, Stephen, Red, Bongo, & Francesca. There are also blank pages for any other characters you might want to study.

 

Each character has four pages of information to choose from. The TEN skills covered include:

★ Annotating to find a character’s thoughts and actions.

★ Annotating to find a character’s dialogue and physical descriptions.

★ Static vs. dynamic characters.

★ Protagonist vs. antagonist characterization.

★ Internal and external character traits.

 

You can use these templates once, twice, or for every chapter the character appears in!

The options for this activity are endless!
