This 60-minute strategy helps students imaginatively analyze the motivations and personalities of literary characters. Using a template in Adobe Photoshop, students work independently or collaboratively to create a fictional text message exchange between two characters to demonstrate their understanding of persona and character motivation.
Adobe Photoshop is a fun tool that helps students make professional-looking images to present information in creative ways. Because students use a premade template in this strategy, the application of content with creativity fast and easy. This strategy can be adapted for use with other Adobe products.
This strategy was adapted from a lesson by EdgeGain by Dr. Magdalena H. Gross, a former 8th grade teacher who now produces curriculum and education content at Adobe.
