Zoals studenten lezen, kan een storyboard dienen als een handig tekenreferentielogboek. Dit logboek (ook wel een karakterkaart genoemd) stelt studenten in staat om relevante informatie over belangrijke personages terug te roepen. Bij het lezen van een roman worden kleine attributen en details vaak belangrijk naarmate de plot vordert. Met character mapping registreren studenten deze informatie, helpen ze mee en vangen ze de subtiliteiten op die leesplezier aangenamer maken!

Maak een personagekaart voor de hoofdpersonen.
Group students based on reading level or character interest to encourage meaningful discussions and peer learning. Small, diverse groups help students share different perspectives and deepen their understanding of each character.
Give each student a specific character or map element to focus on. Role assignments ensure every group member is actively contributing and makes the mapping process more interactive.
Encourage students to find background details or references about their assigned character using the text or trusted sources. Sharing new discoveries enriches the class map and supports deeper comprehension.
Have groups present their completed character maps to the class. Presentations boost confidence, allow for peer feedback, and reinforce student learning by reviewing character insights together.
