About this resource
Description
Readers meet all kinds of people in books, and talking about them is one of the best ways to grow as a writer. This An Interesting Person Worksheet helps 2nd grade students pick a character from a story they are reading, explain why that person stands out, and back up their opinion with words taken right from the book.
How to Use This Worksheet
Students begin by writing the book title on the top line. Next they plan their thinking in four numbered boxes: who the person is, what the person does, why the person is special, and words from the book that prove it. Last, they draw a picture of the person in the large drawing box. The sheet works with any picture book or chapter book, so it fits read-alouds, guided reading groups, and independent reading time. Because every response is the child’s own, the page is a single open-ended sheet that can be used again and again with new books.
What’s Included
- A book title line
- Four planning boxes with two writing lines each
- A large drawing box for a picture of the person
- Clear 2nd grade directions
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it builds opinion writing. Kids learn to state what they think about a character and give reasons, which is the heart of a 2nd grade opinion writing worksheet. Second, it sends readers back to the text. Copying words from the book teaches students to support ideas with evidence instead of guessing. Third, the drawing box lets young writers show what they picture in their minds, which deepens understanding and keeps the task fun.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the an interesting person worksheet after a class read-aloud, then let students share their boxes with a partner before writing a full paragraph. At home, parents can pair it with a bedtime story and talk about the person together. Teachers can also collect the finished pages to build a class book of favorite characters.
