Brainstorming Characters

Complete all you wish to of your 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6 drafts. Do not take more than 1 period to do this. Wrap the story up as tightly as it will go for now.

When you have completed your "final draft", please label it, title it, save it to YOUR file for now. We will use it later.

Take notes on Characterization (above). Learn what this means.

Brainstorming: In your journal make a list of names...some funny, some serious, some vague, some specific.

Brainstorming: Then, in your journal choose 3 of these names and write the answers to this quiz to develop your characters: The Writer's Trust.

Brainstorming: After you have completed this quiz for each character, write a brief character description for each person. Turn in these brief character descriptions as classwork.
