I was working with students on this standard, and didn't have a resource to help me document how a character changes over time. We were reading Esperanza Rising, and I needed something that we could use over a period of a few weeks. I went ahead and made my own organizer. Here is an example of what I used with my students:
As we worked through this organizer, I discovered that many students wanted to summarize the events in the story, but not necessarily describe how the character changed over time or responded to challenges. We did agree that it is valuable to talk about events in the story, so we decided to write one sentence about the story and one sentence about how it affected the character. We added a non-linguistic representation to add to our understanding.
A blank copy of this graphic organizer is available for free at our TPT store:

This was my first attempt at teaching this skill. I would love to hear how you teach this standard in your classroom.
