There are two types of character traits:  \n􀀁 Internal character traits describe a character's personality. They are based on what the character does, thinks, says and feels.  \n􀀁 External character traits describe how a character looks. They are based on what you can see about the character from the outside.  \nFirst, read the story and think about Mr. Joe’s character traits:  \nEvery morning, Mr. Joe stood at the crosswalk in his bright orange vest, holding up his stop sign. His glasses perched on his nose, and his smile never faded, even on rainy days.  \n“Good morning, kids!” he called, his voice strong and clear over the noisy street.“Walk, don’t run! Eyes up and pay attention!”  \nThe students knew to listen. It didn’t matter that Mr. Jones was only as tall as the fifth graders. When he spoke, everyone paid attention.  \nOne chilly morning, a first grader named Ben stood at the curb, looking nervous. The cars zoomed by, and his backpack seemed too big for him.  \nMr. Joe stepped beside him without rushing.“You got this, buddy,” he  \nsaid. He held up his sign without hesitation, and the cars slowed to a stop.“Okay, time to cross. Nice and easy!”  \nBen walked across with all the other kids who were crossing. When they reached the other side, Mr. Joe gave him a thumbs-up.  \n“See? Easy as pie,” he said.“Now go learn something fun!”  \nAt lunch, some older kids played soccer near the sidewalk. The ball rolled into the street just as a car was coming. One boy started to run after it.  \n“Hold it right there!” Mr. Joe’s voice cut through the noise, strong but kind. The boy froze.  \nMr. Joe walked over at his usual steady pace, picked up the ball and handed it back.“Always look first. Cars can’t stop as fast as I can,” he said with a wink.  \nLater that afternoon, a group of students walked up, chatting about their day.  \n“My little brother dropped his bookbag in the street once,” one girl said.“Mr. Joe got it before a car could even honk!”  \nAnother student laughed.“One time, he stopped a car with just a look!”  \nAs school ended, Mr. Joe waved at the long line of kids.“See you tomorrow, scholars! Don’t forget: Look both ways before you cross!”  \nOne student grinned and called back,“We know, Mr. Joe! You tell us that every day!”  \nMr. Joe chuckled and said,“I’ll keep saying it for as long as I work here!” He then lifted his stop sign without hurry and guided the next group of kids across the street, his smile still as bright as ever.  \nThen, sort these character traits into internal character traits and external character traits:  \n\n| Character traits |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| shy young\u003Cbr>tall | short wears glasses\u003Cbr>funny | calm\u003Cbr>mean\u003Cbr>loud | helpful brown-haired always smiling |\n\nInternal character traits  \nExternal character traits  \nFinally, choose two internal character traits and two external character traits to describe the main character. Use details from the story to explain why you chose each one:  \nInternal character traits  \nInternal Trait \\#1:  \n_______________________________  \n_______________________________  \nInternal Trait \\#2:  \nI choose this trait because  \n_______________________________  \n_______________________________  \nExternal character traits  \nExternal Trait \\#1:  \n_______________________________  \n_______________________________  \nExternal Trait \\#2:  \nI choose this trait because  \n_______________________________  \n_______________________________  \nAnswers  \nSorting character traits:  \nInternal character traits  \n- shy  \n- calm  \n- helpful  \n- mean  \n- sly  \n- loud  \nChoosing character traits:  \nAccept any variation of the following:  \nInternal character traits  \nCalm: The story proves that Mr. Joe doesn’t get upset easily.  \nHelpful: The story explains that Mr. Joe keeps students safe every day by helping them cross the street.  \nLoud: The story says that M","cbCaip2wvA3YiK5R","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip2wvA3YiK5R","pdf",127068,"English","# Character traits\n## Internal vs. external traits\n## Story: Mr. Joe\n## Sorting traits activity\n## Choosing and explaining traits\n# Answers","[{\"question\":\"What are internal character traits, and where do students find them in the story?\",\"answer\":\"Internal character traits describe a character’s personality.
