Character Analysis Assignments - Social Media Characterization Activities
Character Analysis Assignments - Social Media Characterization Activities: Take your character analysis to the next level with these dynamic assignments tailored for the digital age! Instead of the typical character analysis, engage your students' creativity by having them explore character traits through the lens of social media. This resource offers a refreshing approach to character analysis, applicable to any fiction reading.
Included In These Social Media Character Analysis Assignments:
➡️ Character Hashtags: Students will create a social media profile for the character by drawing a picture of them, writing an introductory profile, and sharing posts that reveal the main character's thoughts at various times in the reading. Students will use relevant hashtags at the end of the update that connects to the reading.
➡️ Character Internet Search: Students will fill in an internet search engine with three websites that a character from the novel or short story would visit with text evidence to support the choices.
➡️ Character Online Images: Students create a social media page of images that represent the character. The students will put themselves in the shoes of the character and consider what images they would share. Under each photo, students will explain why the character would share this image.
➡️ Character Hidden Chat: Students write two secret chat conversations between the character and someone else that they would want to disappear after being sent. The conversations should reflect moments the character wouldn’t want others to see, revealing their hidden thoughts, feelings, or plans.
➡️ Character Profile: Students will create an online social media character profile by drawing a picture of the character, writing a description of them, choosing a main status update, and having other characters write to them.
