Killing Mr. Griffin
Character Analysis Project
Complete the character analysis charts for the five main characters: Susan, David, Mark, Jeff
and Betsy. Also describe the internal and external conflicts of each character. On the back of
each character sheet, describe the motivation each character had in the plan to kidnap Mr.
Griffin.
Using your character charts and information from the book, create a character booklet which
includes the following information:
 A cover, including a title and your name
A page for each character which includes:
 A picture of what you think each character looks like
 Three paragraphs
o First paragraph – description of the character (physical appearance, personality,
family background, how others see them, etc.)
o Second paragraph – write about the reasons why (their motivation) the
character took part in the plan to kidnap (and ultimately kill) Mr. Griffin
o Third paragraph – write a paragraph telling what you think happened to the
character after the story ended
 Copy the lyrics to a song that you think describes one of the main characters (include
the name of the songwriter) and be prepared to tell why you think this song relates to
the character you chose.
Final project due: Thursday January 31st
