More work on characterization

Goal: Further explorations of direct and indirect characterization supported by selected text evidence.

Read:
Reading your group novel is highly recommended.

Memoir Presentations:
A few people would still like to present their memoirs.

Direct and Indirect Characterization:

  • When an author specifically tells you something about a character that is direct characterization. 
  • When an author expects you to infer something about a character that is indirect characterization. 

Back to the STEAL chart you started yesterday:

  • As you add more examples notice if they are direct or indirect characterization. 
  • Use a direct sentence from the book for each part of the chart. 
  • Explain what that sentence tells you about the character.

Quiz Tomorrow, Study Tips: 

  • Read up to the place you should be in your group novel. (That's important.)
  • Finish your STEAL chart. That will help you with at least one question. 
  • Know what your main character WANTS most, their motivation. 
  • Know about the other characters your character has relationships with and what those relationships are like. (See your EJ entry from Tuesday!) 
  • Add any new characters to the character web you started on Tuesday.
