Diary of Anne Frank "I Am" Poem Project on Characterization (direct & indirect)
This "I Am" Poem project can be used at any time during the novel or play, however, I find it best as a cumulative project after the students get to know all of the characters.

The rough draft/outline page gives them enough structure to write a poem that uses CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT and analyzes a characters thoughts/feelings/etc. as well as gives the
