What’s the Student Objective?
•Review what is supportive evidence.
•Define the literary term “character trait” and explore how to provide details that support their inferences (apply this skill similar to exploring a fictional text).
•Use the novel, class notes, and web resources to research the character (subject), then cite evidence to find accurate and descriptive word choice.
•Fill out the body biography graphic organizer/poster.
Group work should promote:
•Intellectual understanding, abilities, and skills.
•Communication, cooperative, and teamwork skills such as planning. management, leadership, and peer support.
