OVERVIEW: This activity was SO much more fun than a standard characterization tracking worksheet. Print, copy, and then have your students cut out these trading card templates for all of the major characters in The Book Thief. The students can add to their cards as they get to know more about each character, or you can give this out at the end of the novel as a review. Directions have students analyzing personality traits, loyalties, bravery, quotes, and more! The directions sheet can be printed out and displayed under your ELMO (or projector), or you can provide each student with their own copy. I hope your students have as much fun with this as mine did!
