Character Wants

This worksheet guides students in exploring four aspects of a character: what they want, love, dislike, and fear. Each prompt encourages students to reflect on these elements, forming a well-rounded view of the character’s motivations and emotional landscape. Additionally, students are asked to describe the character in two words, distilling their understanding into key descriptors. This format allows for focused insight into the character’s core attributes.

Analyzing these four dimensions enhances critical thinking as students consider diverse motivations and emotions. It builds vocabulary by requiring descriptive language for likes, dislikes, and fears. By summarizing the character in two words, students practice concise language use and synthesis of complex traits. This worksheet also supports emotional understanding by connecting feelings with motivations.
