Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse
Grade: 4th
I will use this book to introduce character traits and describing a character in depth. Lilly is a very vibrant character. This book is a great way for students to describe a character's traits. As a class, we will fill out an anchor chart on Lilly together. We will discuss that character traits describe a character's attitude and behavior and that physical traits describe how a character looks. Physical traits will be written in purple on the chart, and character traits will be written in black. The class will use evidence from the text to help describe Lilly. Afterwards, students will make Lilly using construction paper. They will attach a piece of paper where they write a couple of sentences describing themselves using character traits as if they were Lilly.
