An example card for 'The Cheshire Cat' is provided, demonstrating how to include a picture, the character's name, the archetype they represent ('The Trickster'), their goals/motivations, strengths, weaknesses, and a memorable moment.
Grade Level Suitability:

After reading a novel, students should choose six characters. For each character, they will draw or find a picture, write the character's name and origin, identify the character's archetype, and then fill in the goals/motivations, strengths, weaknesses, and a memorable moment. Once complete, the card can be cut out and folded in half.
