Writing: Imaginative Narrative #5
A famous author once said that as a writer, you should know your main character so well that at any given time, you’d know how much change he/she has in their pocket. We may not know the answer to that question, but today we are going to dig deeper into our main characters and get to know them better. Much better!
- Watch the introductory video
- Build your main character using loose parts
- Record your new thinking about your character in your notebook
- Photograph your build and share it on SeeSaw
The slides are in your writing folder too: Developing Characters Slides
READ: PADLET DAY~ Read your fantasy book for 20-30 minutes
Remember to have 1 cover uploaded to your padlet and write across all of the columns, not just one column. Also, it is important not to report but to think deeply about your book. If one person reports something (for example character names) , then you should add to the post your thoughts and text evidence to support your thinking about those characters.
Everyone in the group should not repeat the setting:
- Think about why the author chose the setting?
- How does the setting affect your characters?
- Why is the setting important?
When listing the problems, the same is true. Don’t repeat the same problem your club members already posted. Instead add on to your partners posts and either agree or disagree, but provide more text evidence in your thinking. Your posts should reflect 15-20 minutes of thinking to receive excellent participation credit.
