In the classroom
Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Define 'characters' as the people or animals a story is about
Identify the main character as the character most central to a story's action
Teaching tips
Display the completed version as a permanent classroom reference after first using the fill-in-the-blank version interactively with students
Use the blank version during a shared read-aloud, filling in the missing words together as a class discussion rather than assigning it as independent seatwork
Pair with a familiar read-aloud book so students can immediately apply the main-character definition to a character they already know
Skills covered
Character concept identification — students define 'characters' and identify the main character as central to a story's action, using a fill-in-the-blank version of the chart during class discussion.
