7 Wednesday, 14 October 2015 Today, we are going to focus on the development of characters in writing—characterization. This means that we need to use our CREATIVITY and RESOURCEFULNESS to think like writers  Lauren Sapala, the author of Peel Back the Mask of your Protagonist, a book for writers about writing, states, “Think of your character as a jewel that has about a thousand different facets. If you keep turning them over and exploring new sides, you’ll keep discovering new information about their personality and motivations. And there’s always another way to turn things. There’s always another side to explore.” Task: Think of characters from all different sorts of literature (short stories, novels, plays, poems, songs, video games, graphic novels, and film) that really grabbed you. COLLABORATE with your table group to briefly discuss the characters you have been most interested in and what made them so darn fascinating.

8 Wednesday, 14 October 2015 Direct and Indirect Characterization Mini-lesson and Notes PRACTICE! Read and annotate “The Lady or the Tiger?” by Frank Stockton Homework: Finish reading (or rereading) “The Lady or the Tiger?” and complete your annotations as needed—we will continue work on this story tomorrow!

9 There are two types of characterization: direct and indirect
Characterization is the process by which the author reveals the personality of the characters and things that make the character unique. There are two types of characterization: direct and indirect

10 Indirect Characterization: S.T.E.A.L
There are FIVE different methods of indirect characterization: 1) SPEECH: (dialogue) What does the character say? How does the character speak? 2) THOUGHTS: What is revealed about the character through their private thoughts and feelings. 3.)EFFECT on others toward the character: What is revealed through the character’s effect on people? How do other characters feel or behave in reaction to the character? 4) ACTIONS: What does the character do? How does the character behave? 5) LOOKS: What does the character look like? How does the character dress? Indirect characterizations are like CLUES about the characters. There is NO MYSTERY with direct characterization because the author gives us the information we need to know!

11 Let’s Practice! Direct or Indirect:
The patient boy and quiet girl were both at the game. Direct: The narrator is telling us that the boy is patient and the girl is quiet.

12 Direct or Indirect: “Hey, we can have lots of fun at camp this summer! I love being outside!” Indirect: Speech- What does the character say? How does the character speak? This shows us the character is upbeat and happy.

13 He was bored. He was tired of waiting in line.
Direct or Indirect: He was bored. He was tired of waiting in line. Direct: The reader doesn’t have to guess (or infer) how the character feels. The narrator tells the reader how the character feels.

14 Direct or Indirect: I wish it would stop raining. I am tired of sitting inside, he thought to himself. Indirect: Thoughts-What is revealed through the character’s thoughts and feelings? This shows us the character is not happy about the situation.

15 The boy glared at his sister as she ate his dessert.
Direct or Indirect: The boy glared at his sister as she ate his dessert. Indirect: Effect on Others- What is revealed through the character’s effect on other people? How do other characters feel or behave in reaction to the character? This shows us that the character is upset about his sister’s behavior and her inability to think of others.

16 The girl rode the lawn mower through the house and into the garage.
Direct or Indirect: The girl rode the lawn mower through the house and into the garage. Indirect: Actions- What does the character do? How does the character behave? This shows us the girl is not concerned with rules or safety.

17 Direct: The character tells the reader that he is beautiful.
Direct or Indirect: I am beautiful. Direct: The character tells the reader that he is beautiful. ALSO Indirect: What do we learn about the character through this internal thought? Is he vain? Confident? Stuck up?

18 Direct or Indirect: The little girl left the game with slumped shoulders and a frown on her face. Indirect: Looks- What does the character look like? How does the character dress? This shows us the little girl is not enjoying herself and is upset.

19 Open the story: While reading, annotate and talk to the text.
From my website – Class Readings/downloads – “The Lady or the Tiger” While reading, annotate and talk to the text. Highlight confusions Highlight DIRECT and INDIRECT Characterization about each character—the king, the princess, and the young man—as you begin to talk to the text, identify each example as direct or indirect and what it is revealing about that character. Keep talking to the text! Be sure you are asking questions for your confusion and marking DEF for definitions. Make comments about what stands out to you, etc.

20 Wednesday, 14 October 2015 Welcome back! To get ready for class today, retrieve your folder, find a WISE seat, and finish your reading comprehension diagnostic test  Reading Comprehension Diagnostic Test Write only on your answer sheet Take your time—you can use today’s class period as well as tomorrow’s as needed. When you finish, turn in the diagnostic test to Mrs. G-S. AR Reading time/ Vocabulary time

21 What happened in the story, “The Lady or the Tiger?”
Thursday, 15 October 2015 Yesterday you learned about direct and indirect characterization. Remember, this is the process in which the author brings the characters to life for the reader. We analyze this development by looking deeper into the text to identify WHO our characters really are using clues from the text and what the narrator tells us directly. We are going to do that today with our 3 main characters in “The Lady or the Tiger?” Task: What happened in the story, “The Lady or the Tiger?” Open your text, and quickly review yesterday’s story. In ONLY 20 words (no more) summarize the story and highlight the main events that took place. Fill in the blanks provided on your sheet.

Direct and Indirect Characterization Practice Vocabulary Unit 3 WS 2 Homework: Complete the Vocabulary unit 3 WS 2 tonight. Remember your quiz is tomorrow and this practice will help you study effectively

23 Review Direct and Indirect Characterization
Pick up the characterization practice sheet on your table, and answer questions 1-2 using your note sheet from yesterday. Next, open up the story and finish annotating for evidence of characterization. You should highlight examples of DIRECT and INDIRECT characterization about each character—the king, the princess, and the young man. In the margin, identify each as direct or indirect and explain what the evidence reveals about the character.

24 Who is the Young Man? Direct Characterization
Indirect Characterization

25 Who are the King and Princess?
With your group, fill in the chart using the young man as an example. Look through the text and find examples of text that describe each character. Decide if the evidence is using direct or indirect characterization. Use the textual evidence to support your description of each character, and explain what it reveals about the character. Direct Characterization Indirect Characterization The King The Princess
