British Literature Body Biography Project Bundle

British Literature Body Biography Project Bundle for Print and Digital is filled with a unique characterization activity for the timeless and sentimental titles you find in a British Literature high school English classroom. Your students will find plenty of opportunities for creativity during their British Literature adventures. Teachers and students will experience the unique approach of using a collaborative poster, your unit study, textual evidence, research, and the body biography project!

Give your students a relevant and modern experience while promoting the 4 C's and achievement. I adapted the body biography concept to align with citing textual evidence, character traits, research, and inference skills.

•Review what is supportive evidence.

•Define the literary term “character trait” and explore how to provide details that support their inferences (apply this skill similar to exploring a fictional text).

•Use the novel, class notes, and web resources to research the character (subject), then cite evidence to find accurate and descriptive word choices.

Group work should promote:
