Character Evidence Chart Printable

What this printable includes

Describe a fictional character using evidence rather than an unsupported label. This chart pairs an action or quotation with a trait the reader infers and a page reference. It is a closer look at characterization than a general story map.

Character Evidence Chart Printable with labeled fields and generous writing space

How to use the page

Choose one character and one section of a text. Record what the character actually says or does before deciding what it might suggest. A character who helps once is not necessarily helpful in every scene; use wording that fits the evidence. Keep a quotation distinct from a paraphrase.

Review and adapt

Compare two entries and consider whether they support the same interpretation. Different readers may make different reasonable inferences when they can explain their evidence. There is no universal answer key for this blank organizer. Use a text you are allowed to read and quote appropriately, and follow any classroom citation instructions.
