Reading

Today, we will compare and contrast two characters. This week we have read several stories that have animal characters. We have been collecting information to describe the characters using text evidence from the stories. We looked at the talk, thoughts, effects, actions, and looks of a character. 

Now, we will choose one of our characters. We will also use an animal character we know from another story. We will compare and contrast the animal characters using a Venn diagram. Click on the Activity button below to download the Venn diagram. Click through the slideshow below to learn more about comparing and contrasting your characters. When you have completed the Venn diagram, submit it to your teacher.

1. Click on the Activity button to download the Venn diagram. Choose one character from our characterization worksheet. Choose another animal character from a story you know well. A suggestion is a fairy tale character.
2. Compare and contrast the characters on the Venn diagram. Use our characterization table to help compare the characters. How do they look? What are their character traits?
3. When you have finished, submit your worksheet to your teacher.

Fairy Tale Character Think of an animal character you know well, such as a popular fairy tale character. Otherwise, you may use one from a story you have read recently. Our Character Now, pick a character from the worksheet you have been working on this week. You may use Bobby, Franky, or Pixie. Label Using the Venn diagram in this lesson, put the names of each character on the lines. Compare Look for what the characters have in common. Write the similarities in the overlapping section of your circles. Contrast Think about what is different about each character. Write the differences about each character under their labels on the Venn diagram.
