Teachers, save “Writing: Character traits versus feelings” to assign it to your class.

Sketch each one and write as many character traits about them as you can on one side, and on the other write their physical traits. An example is attached. 3. Do the same thing for yourself! What are you like as a person? What are your character strengths and weaknesses?
