Mapping Characters in The Little Prince

In this activity, students should depict the characters of the story, paying close attention to the physical and character traits of both major and minor characters. Students should provide detailed information regarding how the characters interact with the main characters, as well as challenges the characters face.

By clicking "Use This Assignment", both the example above as well as a blank template will be copied into your teacher account. Feel free to use either of them as is, or tailor for your students! You may want them to answer different or additional questions, or add characters for them to analyze. A quick way to incorporate character maps into the classroom is to print them out to be used as worksheets.

• The Prince
• The Aviator
• The Flower
• The Fox
