Instructional Ideas
- Have kids turn the activity into an informative essay about how the prince and the pilot have different traits than each other, and than they do
- Prompt learners to complete the activity at home, and compare responses in a class discussion
Classroom Considerations
- Illustration in the background is distracting and could interfere with understanding
- Lesson is written by a student teacher, so the directions and rationale are lengthy
Pros
- Versatile for other novel or short story units
- Encourages kids to think critically about character traits, and to compare them to their own experiences and characteristics
Cons
- You'll need to provide more concrete assessment in the activity, as it counts on the Venn diagram as the only source of assessment, rather than any extension of the lesson
