CCSS: RL.9-10.1, RL.9-10.2, RL.9-10.3 - these Common Core standards are oriented around reading literature with an emphasis on themes, characterization, details, and ideas. Many of the resources in this collection use separate anchor texts as their focus, but there are plenty with the anchor texts or selections from them included within the resource itself.

In this collection, students learn about direct and indirect characterization through a series of lessons, worksheets,  and graphic organizers.Students will also use Waggle Learning Goals' adaptive practice to work at their own pace. Skill Boosts can also be used as a pre- or post-assessments.
