Remind students about the types of characters that can be found in stories with this colourful classroom poster.
What Are Story Characters?
One of the first narrative elements we teach to our littlest learners is characters. Characters can be animals, people, non-living things and make-believe creatures. Characters can talk, have thoughts and have feelings. Objects or things that do not talk, have thoughts or have feelings are not characters.
Display this poster on your classroom wall when teaching your students about the types of characters that can be found in stories. It displays an image of each of the following character types:
- People
- Animals
