“Knowing” a character means that you know about their traits or characteristics. You can make predictions about a character’s actions because you know about the traits. For example, is the character honest ? Then you could predict that the character would not steal. However, a character’s traits are not always obvious at the beginning of a story. Sometimes, you don’t really know a character until the end of the story. Sometimes, characters can change during the story. This organizer helps you as you think about the character throughout a story. Record evidence from the text to show the trait in the character.
