Can I use this character traits worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade narrative writing, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
How do you show a character trait without naming it?
⌄
Use concrete examples such as voice, habit and what the person does. Portray a Teacher in One Vivid Paragraph says to use no plain trait words such as nice or funny.
What should a profile of a person include?
⌄
Real scenes that show the person at work, under pressure and being kind. Profile a Person You Admire in Three Scenes plans one scene for each.
Do these sheets have answer keys?
⌄
No. Both ask for the student's own observations.
