Open-Mind Portraits

Open-Mind Portraits enable a student to identify one element of story structure, character identification. This project helps the students to identify with the character's feelings, attitudes and point of view.

Draw a portrait of a character from the book, showing from the shoulders upward.

Design on the back of the character portrait pictures that describe what the character might be thinking/feeling.

This could be done three times, one for how the character thinks/feels at the beginning, middle, and end of the book.
