Reading Whole Group Lessons: Character Traits

To make my lesson a little bit more interesting I am incorporating art and more interaction into my whole group lessons.  We read the story selection of the week.  My students wrote on their post its the character trait exhibited by the main character and an example from the story of how or when they exhibited that trait.  They walked up to my rolling cart and posted their traits next to the character.

This is an example of a students work.

I then displayed their work around the classroom.
