Character traits give the reader insight into what a character might do next in a story. As I read the book Ferdinand by Munro Leaf, students wrote down what Ferdinand did and said in each box. Then the students came up with character traits for Ferdinand. My students came up with; peaceful, gentle, happy and unique. When I got to the part of the book when the men choose Ferdinand for the bull fight, I had the students infer what they thought Ferdinand would do. Since he displayed peaceful traits, many students inferred that Ferdinand would not fight.

Students drew pictures of the character on a sheet of paper with 2 cut lines. Then they wrote what the character did and said. Lastly, they came up with character traits. Students can pull sheet with the words through the sheet with the picture as shown on top.
