Then, I had the kiddos re-read previously read books from my classroom library to get reacquainted with characters. They were armed with Post-It notes to jot down what they noticed about the characters' actions and character traits. I gave them ten minutes to think and jot... then I asked them to find a partner. The partners shared what they found about their characters, decided which character would help them create the most descriptive character description, and then worked together to practice writing one. Each student was responsible for recording the description in their Writer's Notebook to refer back to in the future. Dare I say it? Even though I am missing UofS right now, I actually enjoyed the lesson!
