Character Sketches

Last class you:
1. Made a list of character names (both funny, serious, and other)
2. You circled three of these names
3. You chose one of these three names and conducted an "interview" using the link below (Oct. 20)

You should have completed one of these "interviews" in your journal (brainstorming) last class.

Today, finish the questionnaire for your second and third character (from the list you created last class). All of this information should go in your journal. It is part of your brainstorming process. We will use much of this later in our next story.

After jotting notes in your journal (brainstorming), create a character sketch. Look here for notes about how to write a character sketch.

Write a character sketch (no more than 1 page, please--a few descriptive paragraphs is fine) for each of your three characters. This should be turned in as lab/writing participation credit.

Homework: Please remember to turn in your 4 ?'s from your reading of pages 174-177.
For today's homework, please read pages: 177 (exploring setting) through 180. Complete Writer's Practice 9.1: Describe a Place. We will be using this next class.
Also: there will be a quiz next class on Characters & characterization. You should be familiar with the information given in last class' post (Oct. 20) and know what "characterization" is.
