Do you want a fun way to review reading comprehension skills of inference with your students?

Then look no further! Character design has your students design a t-shirt, jacket, sneakers, or backpack using their inference skills. This task is designed to engage your student's creative and critical thinking to show their understanding and comprehension of the characters inside the story. Students elaborate on their designs by explaining why they chose certain symbols, colours and patterns to match the character's personality and traits.

This activity would make a great display during a book unit or book week. These can be used in small reading groups, whole class novel and book units.
