Sometimes, the author may tell us the characters’ traits directly. Copyright © 2011 Kelly Mott

BUT…more often the author will show these traits in action. Copyright © 2011 Kelly Mott

Copyright © 2010 Kelly Mott Our job as readers is to use clues from the story to determine what traits a character may have.

You’ll want to pay attention to what the characters THINK, SAY, and DO. Copyright © 2011 Kelly Mott

Let’s practice. We’re going to watch a video and use clues from the video to describe the characters.
