  • Cite basic bibliographic information about a novel or story -- title, author, and genre.

  • Write a short summary connecting the profiled character to the story's events.

Teaching tips

  • Delete the unused style slides from your own copy before sharing with students, per the file's own setup guide, so students see only the one layout you've chosen.

  • Set student sharing permission to view-only on the digital version so the master template stays intact for reuse with future classes.

  • Pair this with a novel or short story unit, using the poster as a post-reading character-analysis task for a story's antagonist or villain.

Skills covered

  • Character trait description -- students list physical and personal characteristics for a chosen character, drawing on text details.
