With this lesson, 'Language Arts Activity - "Predicting Outcomes"', Middle School and High School students show the round and dynamic qualities of a character by choosing specific details from their reading that reveal how the character they pick acts and reacts to the Plot/Conflict.
Teachers should introduce this activity during the latter part of the Rising Action or when enough information about the character has been given. In completing it, students exhibit their range of thinking skills from knowledge through evaluation.
The written segment allows students to show their understanding of all aspects of the character as well as their analytic and critical-thinking skills. The oral response/discussion aspect enables students to exercise and develop their speaking and listening skills.
This Common Core aligned activity has students, remembering, thinking, applying, analyzing, writing, evaluating and speaking. They are motivated by the age old, "Woulda', shoulda', coulda'" dilemma.
