The worksheet then guides students through a series of questions and tasks, including:

1. What does the author say directly about the character? This encourages students to examine explicit information provided by the author.
2. Describe the character’s physical appearance. Students are prompted to visualize and articulate the character’s physical traits based on textual descriptions.
3. What does the character say? Students analyze the character’s dialogue to gain insights into their personality and values.
4. What does the character think about? This question encourages students to explore the character’s inner thoughts and motivations.
5. How does the character act? Students assess the character’s actions and behaviors, drawing conclusions about their personality.
6. What do other characters say and think about them? This aspect delves into how the character is perceived and valued by others in the story.

By addressing these aspects, students gain a well-rounded understanding of the character, promoting critical thinking, empathy, and a deeper connection to the text.
