Anchor Charts for Series Book Clubs Unit

As I sit here thinking about lesson planning for the upcoming week…looking at the kid's jots from the lessons completed on character traits this past week...I am thinking that I could possibly move most of them into inferencing, as they think about the actions and traits of the characters in their series books. My ELLS are struggling a bit so I am going to stick to having them sort feelings and traits for a little while longer. Below are the two anchor charts we are working with in the current unit on series clubs.
Happy Saturday!

                      

Character Traits vs Feelings

In my classroom today we worked on how to distinguish between character feelings and character traits. The kids were asked to meet with their series book club members after a brief mini-lesson. They began by sorting a variety of feeling words and traits words. Then they were instructed to talk about how the character's feelings in their series books have changed across the text so far. Finally, they were asked to identify some traits of the main character in the series and to support their thinking with evidence from the text. They had a great time and the level of talk was excellent! Here's a peek!

PEACE,
