Talk about the "bad" character in the story and teach students about how this is known as the "villan". Also talk about the "good" character and how this is called the "hero/heroine". Model and make an anchor chart labeled hero and villan. List the charcter traits and discuss the similarities and differences of them. You can also creat a venn diagram as you desire. Be sure to discuss the reason WHY the characters had certain feeling and did certain actions.

You may also want to make a "Wanted" poster for your Villan and list the things the villan did in the story and their character traits. Here is a fun example to give you an idea: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fairy-Tale-UnitStorybook-Characters
