Other than
hairstyles, few physical adornments show more about people than the clothes
they choose to wear and their accessories. This FREE Common Core and Bloom's
Taxonomy aligned activity not only focuses on the type of purse/attaché
case/tote/ backpack, etc. that a character would choose, but also the items
he/she would keep in it.
After
brainstorming what type of carrying case accessory celebrities would choose, as
well as what items they would keep in it, students will do the same for their
teacher-assigned character.
This is an
engaging activity for students anytime of the year. It doesn't matter if the
same character is assigned/chosen more than once. In fact, the explanations
students write for repeat character choices will really reveal their
interpretive, analytic and critical thinking skills.
This plan
includes detailed Teacher Notes that support this lesson that asks students to exhibit
their understanding of a character's personality, values, and interests.
