Content Objective: Students will work in small groups to complete a STEAL characterization worksheet.
Language Objective: Students find the most relevant evidence to support the characterization of Holden.

3. “Turn and Talk”: What did you read in Chapter 3? Who is Ackley?
What does he look like?
What is Holden’s attitude towards him?

4. Indirect Characterization:
Shows things that reveal the personality of a character. There are five different methods of indirect characterization:
Speech: What does the character say? How does the character speak? Thoughts: What is revealed through the character’s private thoughts and feelings?
Effect: on others toward the character. What is revealed through the character’s effect on other people? How do other characters feel or behave in reaction to the character?
Actions: What does the character do? How does the character behave?
Looks What does the character look like? How does the character dress?
TIP: Use the mnemonic device of STEAL to remember the five types of indirect characterization

9. Defining Characterization:
Characterization is the process by which the writer reveals the personality of a character. Characterization is revealed through direct characterization and indirect characterization.

10. Direct Characterization:
Tells the audience what the personality of the character is. Example: “The patient boy and quiet girl were both well mannered and did not disobey their mother.” Explanation: The author is directly telling the audience the personality of these two children. The boy is “patient” and the girl is “quiet.”
