Learning Target: Identify character traits using support from a reading selection.
Character traits are the qualities in a story character, whether human being or an
animal. You discover a character’s traits through things the character says, does, or
thinks. Sometimes you discover them through things the narrator tells you about the
character. In “Cat on the Go,” James Herriot works very hard to help Oscar when the cat
is brought to him. His actions reveal that he is caring, dedicated and compassionate.
Directions: For each character, write three different character traits. Support the traits
using quotes from “Cat on the Go”.
