3. The Book Thief We’ve got a lot to read today, so let’s jump right in!
Turn to page 16 (the start of the prologue). We’re going to read to page 32.
As we read: Pay attention to the way characters are described. Afterwards, we’re going to do a quick character analysis activity, so pay attention to everyone we’re introduced to during today’s reading. 

4. Goals for Today…
Character Analysis: As we read, consider the five characters on your handout. In the first column, briefly describe each character’s personality (1-2 sentences is fine). What are they like? In the second column, provide a direct quote from the text that supports your analysis. Be sure to include the page number for full credit!
Text Comprehension/Analysis Questions: After we read, respond to the questions on the back of your handout. Be sure to explain your responses fully and provide supporting textual evidence if necessary.
Personal Response: Write your own short response to the book so far. The direction of this response can be up to you, as long as you write at least five sentences. I just want to know what you think!
Some questions you can respond to include: What do you like about the book so far, considering the plot, characters, and/or writing style? What do you not like? What do you think will happen next?
