How to use a profile template for character analysis
- Choose a character and identify the point in the story the profile represents.
- Add a short biography, three interests, and two relationships supported by the text.
- Write three fictional posts in the character’s voice. Label invented wording clearly instead of presenting it as a quotation.
- Put a chapter, page, or source reference beside each inference.
- Ask students to explain one choice to a partner and revise it if the evidence is weak.
Assess the accuracy of the evidence, the reasoning behind the character’s choices, and the clarity of the writing. Decorative details can be optional. The same task works with a two-column document or a hand-drawn profile if an interactive tool is unavailable.
