Ники и его взгляд на жизнь в реке сильно меняются в течение всей истории. В этой деятельности студенты работают над тем, чтобы определить, как он и его взгляд меняются от начала истории до конца. Студенты могут работать индивидуально или в парах, чтобы исследовать и собирать доказательства. Студенты будут описывать доказательства, которые они составили о Ники в начале на одной стороне T-Chart , и доказательства, которые они обнаружили, которые изменились, в конце концов, с другой.

Begin by gathering students and asking open-ended questions about Nicky's feelings at the start and end of the story. Encourage everyone to share their thoughts and use specific examples from the text. Guide the conversation so students compare observations and connect Nicky’s changes to their own experiences with trying new things.
Ask students to find direct quotes or moments that show Nicky’s feelings at the beginning and end. Have them write or share these examples, explaining how each piece supports their ideas about character change.
Draw a large T-Chart on the board or use chart paper. Invite students to add sticky notes or drawings to each side as they find evidence. This collaborative visual helps everyone see the contrast and progression clearly.
After discussing Nicky’s changes, ask students to reflect on a time they changed their mind or learned something new. Encourage sharing in pairs or with the whole class to deepen understanding of character evolution.
Character evolution in 'The Raft' refers to how Nicky changes his attitudes and behaviors from the start to the end of the story, especially in his views about river life and spending time with his grandma.
At first, Nicky dislikes going to his grandma's and prefers TV, but by the end, he enjoys the river, appreciates nature, and bonds with his grandma, becoming more positive and adventurous.
Students can use a T-Chart or storyboard to list and illustrate Nicky's traits at the start and end of the story, showing how his feelings and actions evolve.
Teaching character change with 'The Raft' helps students understand personal growth, empathy, and the impact of experiences, making reading more meaningful and relatable.
Key examples include Nicky going from not wanting to visit his grandma to loving river life, from being upset about chores to enjoying drawing, and from frustration to respect for nature.
