Implied Personalities

Students read a heartwarming passage about a girl rescuing a kitten and infer her implied character traits from her actions. For each explicit line of text, they identify a personality trait revealed indirectly. This exercise develops inferential comprehension, empathy, and understanding of how authors reveal character through behavior.
