The first organizer is helpful when teaching your students to analyze a character’s relationship and how that relationship changes throughout the story. I use the space between the characters to record how the characters treat each other, feel about each other, how the nature of their relationship changes, and the events that caused those changes.
If you are teaching your students to analyze one character, the single character organizer will be more focused and helpful for you. This may be a good starting place for those new to analyzing characters. I recommend starting with analyzing one character in second grade. Once this skill is fully mastered, deepen your students’ understanding of character analysis by taking a look at their relationships with other characters in the text.
Happy teaching!
