1. Writing about character:

• Describe a character in the book you are reading.
• Include a physical description, but also consider personality, speech, thoughts, and things other characters say about this character. 
• Adding details about a place the character spends a lot of time helps too. 
• Use interesting, specific, adjectives. 
• Use figurative language, similes work really well here. 

2. Share what you wrote with your table:

• Agree on a favorite
• Give the author some advice to improve it more
• Submit the "winner" at your table HERE. (Only one submission per table.)
• Read or catch up on other work while Mrs. R reviews the entries.
