Madagascar: Comparing Communities

How they live work and play with others: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Language: Character

Today we are learning about Characters. 

Characters are the people or in some cases animals in the story!

Most stories have someone they are all about this person in called the main character. 

Characters can be described using descriptive words and are often very different. 

Characters can also change and learn over the course of a story.

Lets think about some of our favorite characters, who is one of your favorites? what are they like? do they learn anything?

Now you can make your own for your own story :)
