All people, real and fictional, have experienced the Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda dilemma at least once in their lives. With this FREE lesson, Language Arts Activity - "Predicting Outcomes", students dig into this Choice/Consequence quandary that a specific character experiences throughout a story.
The chart that students complete for this activity will show the round and dynamic qualities of the character as well as how the person acts and reacts to the Plot/Conflict.
Introduce this activity during the latter part of the Rising Action or when enough information about the character has been given. In completing it, students exhibit their range of thinking skills from knowledge through evaluation.
The written segment allows them to show their understanding of all aspects of the character elements of literature as well as their analytic and critical-thinking skills. The oral response/discussion aspect enables students to exercise and develop their speaking and listening skills.
This Common Core aligned activity has students, remembering, thinking, applying, analyzing,
writing, evaluating and speaking. Their motivation is tweaked by the age old, "Woulda', shoulda', coulda'" dilemma.
