Character Traits
Project
You and your partner will be analyzing each other’s character by asking a series of questions about
one another!
You will create a poster board that shows the character traits of the student you are analyzing.
Make sure your poster board thoroughly represents your partner. Use strong words and details
to make your partner appear in their
best light! Even though you are finding out the best
traits of each other, remember to identify some of their
faults as well. You need to represent
your partner by fully identifying their character traits.
Observe your partner throughout the days of working on this project. How do they treat others? Do
they interact with their friends or go off by themselves? Are they well behaved in class? Observing
your partner will allow you to better learn their traits!

Traits are what we learn based on
what the character says, does (their
actions), thinks, and feels
Use strong, descriptive words when
listing your partner’s traits. Words
such as nice, funny, quiet, are not
strong enough words. Use a thesaurus
to help find powerful words to
describe your character.
Draw the words on your poster board
and be creative with your colors,
fonts, etc.
