Next week, we will revisit character traits. Students keep confusing them with feelings. For example, a character might be sad because their dog died but that does not make them a sad person. They are just sad because of that event, so in this case sad is a feeling and not a character trait. If someone were to walk around daily upset and their actions showed that they were like this most of the time, then you could use that as a character trait for them (although a better character trait for them would be depressed).
