Description
The Body Biography Bundle for any novel, short story, play, or film is filled with all you need to teach and promote the amazing characters your students experience in their reading. Your students will experience the unique approach of using a collaborative poster, a character study, textual evidence, research, and the body biography project!
This blank template bundle includes 3 characters sketches for an adult female, adult male, and a child. Give your students a relevant and modern experience while promoting the 4 C’s, character traits and characterization. Leave the body biographies up all year long! I adapted the body biography concept to align with citing textual evidence, character traits, research, and inference skills.
