Equip your students with a powerful mnemonic for deep literary analysis with our F.A.S.T. Character Graphic Organizer. This digital resource provides a structured way for students to analyze a story’s protagonist or antagonist by focusing on four key pillars of characterization: Feelings, Actions, Sayings, and Thoughts.

Perfect for 1st through 5th-grade ELA units, this tool helps students move beyond physical descriptions to understand the internal and external traits that drive a character's journey.

The F.A.S.T. Breakdown for Students:

This graphic organizer helps students deconstruct a character through four specific lenses:

  • Feelings: What is the character experiencing emotionally? How do their emotions change throughout the plot?

  • Actions: What does the character do? How do their choices impact the events of the story?

  • Sayings: What does the character say? Analyzing dialogue to uncover personality and intent.

  • Thoughts: What is happening inside the character's mind? (Ideal for practicing inference in third-person limited or first-person narratives).
