This document provides a lesson plan on teaching character voice. The objectives are for students to match phrases to the appropriate character's voice to understand how voice can be used in writing. The lesson involves reading character phrases aloud and having students identify which character said it. A reflection notes that students were excited to participate and usually selected the correct answer, but some got distracted when standing in the back of the group. Effective principles for the lesson included technology not being essential but adding value and keeping focus on the learning task.
