Description
Have your students analyze characters from Neal Shusterman’s Scythe in a fun and engaging way: Character Collabs!
Your students will use several characterization methods to depict each character's profile, demonstrate their understanding of the literature, and present their final work on a beautiful poster.
This Character Collabs Project is a hands-on approach to learning that enhances retention and inspires students to tap into their creativity.
Students will engage with the novel on a deeper level, encouraging them to think critically, make inferences, and foster empathy. They will also learn the importance of collaboration and effective communication.
The nine characters included in this resource are:
Scythe Faraday, Scythe Goddard, Scythe Curie, Scythe Rand, Scythe Chomsky, Scythe Volta, High Blade Xenocrates, Rowan, and Citra.
Project Steps:
To construct each poster, students will work in groups to analyze their assigned character.
They will transfer their findings to boxes on the poster, color the individual pieces, and tape together the final product.
Each poster is composed of six pieces of paper, which can be printed on regular copy paper or card stock. Once assembled, the completed poster measures 28" x 15".
This resource includes:
Teacher Guide, Student Directions, Rubric, Brainstorm Character Analysis Worksheet, Blank Coloring Pages for each character, Answer Keys, Example of Final Project for Scythe Goddard, Digitally Colored Examples for every character, and Editable Documents (directions, rubric, and brainstorm worksheet).
