The image you've uploaded is a
character trait worksheet template designed for students to analyze and describe a character from a story. It's structured like a "mugshot" or "wanted poster" with a silhouette of a person in the center, divided into four sections around it. Each section asks the student to identify a
trait (a characteristic or quality) of a character and provide
evidence from the text to support that trait.
