This lesson is designed for a sixth or seventh-grade English Language Arts class; however, can be used in other classes where character analysis is necessary such as a drama class, history class, etc. Learners will work through a series of tasks incorporating text, pictures, and videos to define character analysis, compare and contrast direct and indirect characteristics, describe character traits using direct characterization, and analyze characters using indirect characterization. This lesson can be tailored to fit individual students’ interests and hobbies by changing the pictures they are describing in the introduction activity. The resources used to create this lesson are a hybrid of resources—online videos are used to capture the learners’ attention and interests and a Word document with a chart identifying direct and indirect characteristics that will need to be printed out for each student and a piece of paper will be necessary for students to complete the first activity as well. Students will also have extra practice with analyzing characters by completing the activity in the “Challenge Yourself” section. This section ensures that students are transferring their learning of character analysis from video to literature selections.
