While reading Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott Odell we did some work on Karena's character traits. I made a Wordle of character traits that I thought applied to Karena during various chapters of the story. The assignment was to list the trait and the text based evidence.

Thanks for sharing the link to the Prezi on Eve Bunting! I used it with my students today. I love that mode of presenting SO much more than the Powerpoint approach. :)
