Teaching Characterization with Bloom's Taxonomy - Literary Analysis

Teaching characterization is often difficult - and every text is so different. With these Levels of Learning brochure-like foldables, students can easily work through an analysis of ANY literary text with a focus on characterization. 

Scaffolding learning has never been easier with these brochures. Students will get a quick definition of characterization, a list of ways to watch out for characterization as they read, and a whole set of discussion prompts so they'll know how to talk about characterization. Next, students are prompted to answer 6 questions about characterization in the text - each question corresponds to a level of Bloom's Taxonomy. 

Finally, there is a place for students to reflect on their learning AND expand on their understanding as they choose a prompt about characterization. 

I like to use these graphic organizers/foldables for a variety of things: independent work, a way to check for understanding, a follow-up after a mini-lesson, a way to assess understanding of a novel, remediation, etc. The possibilities are limitless!
