The Character Scrapbook asks students to create a digital drawing of what they think a character from a book looks like. The Character Scrapbook allows students to create digital drawings of people or animals. After creating their drawings students then complete a list of ten things that they know about the character, ten words to describe the character, ten details about the character, ten challenges facing the character, and ten things about the character's personality. When students have completed each page of the Character Scrapbook the pages can be printed.<br/><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br/><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPbi-hnIhRc8L-pXHoRm9bNK9b0cr4FAjJUOO36r9TczJ-JBGAH6byvAqM-LvB6p1fhW8xl7ogvUljPq0K6VSyf39g8ypjT3FibZYJ2-Yb9lSxyLtzOHQgVjRvkBS18HX4xkGznzaqKiU/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-04-24+at+9.48.06+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="277" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPbi-hnIhRc8L-pXHoRm9bNK9b0cr4FAjJUOO36r9TczJ-JBGAH6byvAqM-LvB6p1fhW8xl7ogvUljPq0K6VSyf39g8ypjT3FibZYJ2-Yb9lSxyLtzOHQgVjRvkBS18HX4xkGznzaqKiU/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-04-24+at+9.48.06+PM.png" width="400" /></a></div><br/><br/><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Applications for Education</b></span><br/><a href="http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/scrapbook/" target="_blank">Character Scrapbook</a> isn't a revolutionary tool. In fact, you could do the same activity on paper. The one thing that I really like about Character Scrapbook is that digital drawing tool allows students who might not think of themselves as creative artists to create a visual representation of their favorite characters from the books that they read. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><br/>Come learn with me at the <a href="http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2013/04/come-relax-and-learn-with-me-this-summer.html/"">Practical Ed Tech Summer Camp.</a> <br/><br/><i>This post originally appeared on <a href="http://freetech4teachers.com/">Free Technology for Teachers</a><br/></i>.</div><div class="feedflare"><br/><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=1s8Jzwnq6xM:oJXczh61zko:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?d=yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=1s8Jzwnq6xM:oJXczh61zko:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?i=1s8Jzwnq6xM:oJXczh61zko:F7zBnMyn0Lo"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=1s8Jzwnq6xM:oJXczh61zko:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?d=7Q72WNTAKBA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=1s8Jzwnq6xM:oJXczh61zko:qj6IDK7rITs"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?d=qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=1s8Jzwnq6xM:oJXczh61zko:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?i=1s8Jzwnq6xM:oJXczh61zko:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=1s8Jzwnq6xM:oJXczh61zko:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?i=1s8Jzwnq6xM:oJXczh61zko:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=1s8Jzwnq6xM:oJXczh61zko:I9og5sOYxJI"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?d=I9og5sOYxJI"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=1s8Jzwnq6xM:oJXczh61zko:bcOpcFrp8Mo"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?d=bcOpcFrp8Mo"></img></a><br/></div><img height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/freetech4teachers/cGEY/~4/1s8Jzwnq6xM" width="1"/><br/><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/freetech4teachers/cGEY/~3/1s8Jzwnq6xM/a-simple-activity-to-help-students.html" rel="nofollow">Free Technology for Teachers</a>
