Character Study

 WALT: evaluate the actions of a character in a narrative story.

I read a narrative story called The Force. It had quite a few characters, but the main character was Harper. We then did a character study on the main character. We used Google Drawings to answer some questions.

 

Reflection: I could read the story and understand the characters actions in the story. Some vocabulary words were tricky, so I had to use a dictionary to find the meaning.
