Character Study

Worksheet Description

This Biographies worksheet, titled “Character Study,” prompts students to engage deeply with the subject of a biography.

After reading a biography, students are encouraged to select two character traits that they believe best describe the subject. To support their choices, students must provide at least two specific text citations, including page numbers, as evidence from the biography. This activity not only helps students develop a more nuanced understanding of the subject’s personality but also enhances their analytical and critical thinking skills.

By drawing evidence directly from the text, students gain a richer appreciation of the subject’s complexities and the author’s portrayal of their character.
