This activity is another great integration with language in the way it allows students to use their vocabulary. It allows students to look deeper into characters from a book or person of study. The teacher chooses a character for the class to look into and then the class looks at that character in three different aspects; on the inside, outside and surroundings. To this the students look at the inside, what the persons feelings and emotions are like. The outside, what the person physically looks like and acts like. Surroundings, what the person is surrounded by for example family and friends. To give students a visual the teacher can use a graphic organizer like the one below to give students a simple visual organizer that answers the three questions. I would use this in my future class to look deeper into main characters in books to help students further comprehend the character and his/her actions within the book.
