Character Trait Analysis

In this worksheet, students read a short passage about Maya helping her neighbor by picking up fallen trash. They then answer comprehension questions that guide them to determine Maya’s character traits based on her actions. Students identify what she does, select the trait that best fits her behavior, and explain their thinking using text evidence. This activity helps learners analyze how actions reveal personality and reinforces evidence-based reasoning. By examining what the character does rather than guessing, students develop stronger analytical reading habits and a clearer understanding of character traits.
