Application of New Vocabulary

After students have learned new vocabulary terms for character traits, and have had opprotunities to review and learn more traits, the students will create a character silhouette of the different traits they have learned and how they would describe themselves.  This will give students a way to apply the different traits, and new vocabulary, in a meaningful way.  The students will then write an explanation as to why they believe they are the different traits listed in their silhouette.
