Deze activiteit zorgt voor een meer diepgaande blik op een of meer tekens met een focus op de karaktereigenschappen. Studenten moeten tekstuele bewijs om de karaktertrek zij kiezen te ondersteunen. Studenten kunnen hun ideeën te ondersteunen bij de dialoog, gedachten of handelingen van het personage ze portretteren.
Hier is een voorbeeld van een karaktertrek storyboard met behulp van de grid. Dit voorbeeld is voorzien van een vergelijking van de karaktertrekken tussen Assepoester en haar zusters, maar studenten kunnen zich richten op een van de personages in Cinderella.

Gather your class in a circle and have each student share a character trait for a chosen character, explaining their reasoning with specific examples from the text. This activity encourages active listening and helps students justify their ideas with evidence.
Demonstrate how to find dialogue, actions, or thoughts that reveal a character's traits by reading aloud a short passage and highlighting key phrases. Show students how to connect these details to specific traits for stronger analysis.
Invite students to work in pairs or small groups to create a list of possible character traits for a chosen character. Encourage them to use descriptive adjectives and share their lists with the class for a wider range of ideas.
Pair up students to swap their character trait storyboards. Each student reviews their partner’s work and provides one positive comment and one suggestion for even stronger evidence, fostering collaboration and critical thinking.
Create a large anchor chart listing all character traits discussed, along with student-provided examples. Display it in your classroom as a quick reference for future character studies and reading comprehension activities.
Cinderella is typically portrayed as kind, selfless, and genuine, while her sisters are often described as cruel, selfish, and rude. These traits can be supported by the characters’ actions, dialogue, and thoughts throughout the story.
Students should find specific examples from the story—such as a character’s dialogue, actions, or thoughts—to show how a character displays a trait. For example, citing an act of kindness by Cinderella supports her being kind.
A character trait storyboard is a visual activity where students compare and illustrate the traits of characters from Cinderella, using a grid layout. It helps students organize evidence and better understand each character’s personality.
To create this activity, provide students with a template to list characters, identify their traits, and describe or illustrate examples from the story. Encourage them to use evidence like actions or dialogue to support their choices.
Comparing traits helps students understand character motivations and the story’s message. It builds reading comprehension and critical thinking by encouraging them to look for evidence and draw conclusions about the characters.
