Mrs. Mohle's 3rd grade students (KGES) helped us try out a graphic organizer that I created for character analyis.  The organizer was a good match for the goals of the lesson:  using evidence from the text to analyze characters, understanding the difference between a trait and a feeling, and generating words that describe multiple characters in the text (The Littles).  The template can be found on the Formative Assessment page and the Inferring Character Emotions and Traits page.  Thank you Mrs. Mohle for the wonderful collaboration today!
