Compare and Contrast Characters in Echo

The main characters in each story have many parallels and are interconnected even through different times and places. In this activity, students will create a Venn diagram that compares and contrasts three characters. Students will add images and words to represent the characters, their experiences, personalities and interests. Using the outer portions of the ovals, they can identify traits, experiences and attributes that are singular to the character and in the overlapping portions, they can list the ways in which the characters are the same. To scaffold, teachers may ask students to focus on only two characters, and the Venn diagram can be adjusted accordingly.
