In The Face Of Conflict

Worksheet Description

This Character Development worksheet is designed to help students delve into the decision-making processes of their characters, particularly during conflict. It prompts them to think about a scene where their character faces a significant challenge and to detail the character’s actions, the reasons behind these actions, other possible choices, and why these alternatives were not taken. By doing so, it encourages students to consider how a character’s actions under pressure reveal their primary traits.

The worksheet teaches students to create characters with depth by analyzing how they respond to conflict. It provides a structured approach to understanding a character’s motivations and the implications of their choices. Students learn to think critically about character development, including how decisions can be aligned with or contrary to a character’s established traits. This activity aims to improve students’ ability to write complex characters whose actions drive the story forward and resonate with readers.
