2. TDEDEC Formative (Today!)
Using your ability to analyze indirect characterization, infer 3 traits about one character (Mrs. Hurd or Nick Gage).  Then support each trait with specific evidence from the text to show how the character demonstrates that trait.  Lastly, explain, in your own words, how the evidence shows the trait.  Through this process, your goal is to create a well-developed paragraph! Use the TDEDEDEC structure!
