Can I use this character analysis worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade story elements, 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.
