We are noticing character traits in reading this week. On Monday, we focused on Michael Jordan's traits in the text, Jump! The students noticed several traits on the Common Character Traits list; however, I had them narrow their choice down to one where they had to provide evidence from the text to support their answer.
Today, we read Tough Boris, written by one of my favorite authors, Mem Fox. Before reading the text, the students moved around the room to predict the trait based on the picture.

After this activity, we read the text together and compared our trait predictions to the text.
As an extension to the lesson, we "tweeted" a trait that best describes us. Check our Twitter page (located on the right) to see a few responses.
