IRA (Independent Reading Activity): Character Traits
DUE FRIDAY!
            You may complete your IRA on your own paper or in Google Docs (save as IRA309.LastF which means last name first initial.  Mine would be saved as IRA309.DyerH.  When you are ready to submit, click the blue SHARE button at the top right, enter Mrs. Dyer’s email address hdyer@ucschools.org and check “Can Edit,” and then click DONE.)
            Write (or type) your complete heading (title is IRA 309).  What book are you currently reading?  Who is the main character?  Describe the character with three different, unique words.  (Be sure to think about who the character is on the inside, not necessarily the outside.)  For each word that you choose, give at least one example from the text to support that word.
            For example, in Charlotte’s Web, Fern is caring when she promises to take care of the runt to save its life.
