Focus on Characters: Miss Penny and Mr. Grubbs
In my class we are continuing our study of characters. I want to share with you another great picture book with two very contrasting characters.
This book is also by Lisa Campbell Ernst (as I've said before- one of my favorite authors!). It is really a sweet book...
I read the story to my students and then I started the chart- but we did not fill in the words to describe the characters (we did that later).
I gave my students the reading response activity and sent them off to illustrate and write. After giving them some time- we reconvened on the carpet and completed the chart. Then they could go back and add to their own work if they chose to.
They loved this activity and I was really pleased with their efforts!
Up next... Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch!
What picture books do you love to use to teach character?
