Le mappe dei caratteri sono uno strumento utile che gli studenti possono utilizzare durante la lettura, sebbene possano essere utilizzate anche dopo aver completato un libro. In questa attività, gli studenti creeranno una mappa dei personaggi di The Last Cherry Blossom , prestando molta attenzione agli attributi fisici e ai tratti sia dei personaggi principali che di quelli minori. Gli studenti possono anche fornire informazioni dettagliate sulle sfide che il personaggio deve affrontare, le sfide che il personaggio impone e l'importanza del personaggio per la trama della storia.

Boost student excitement and deepen understanding by organizing group character mapping activities instead of having students work alone. Collaboration helps students build communication skills and brings new perspectives to analyzing characters.
Designate specific responsibilities like researcher, illustrator, and discussion leader so every student contributes meaningfully. This structure keeps students focused and ensures all voices are heard.
Encourage students to cite specific passages from The Last Cherry Blossom when describing traits or changes. This reinforces close reading skills and makes their analysis more accurate.
Have each group present their character map to the class. This builds confidence, gives students a sense of ownership, and exposes everyone to fresh ideas and interpretations.
Lead a brief class discussion about what students learned from working in groups. Highlight how teamwork enhanced their character understanding and encourage them to apply these skills in future assignments.
