Character Analysis from Tuck Everlasting

This week, each student selected a main character from Tuck Everlasting to do a character analysis on.  Using a graphic organizer, the students located evidence of their chosen character's appearance, actions, feelings, and dialogue from the text to form a more complete picture of the character's personality.  Then, at the computer lab today, we created Vokis for the characters using a Voki Classroom account.  Here are some of the first Vokis we created.  For those of our followers who are reading Tuck along with us, can you guess the character from the visual depiction and quote?
