1 Warm Up: Analyze (break down) how an author creates a character in a novel.

2 Characterization is the way a writer reveals a character. To create a “round” character, authors must develop a character in several ways. There are five different ways a character is revealed. Together, they spell the acronym STEAL: Speech Thoughts and Emotions Effect on Others Actions Looks

3 Speech: What does the character say? How does the character speak? Thoughts/Emotions: What is revealed through the character’s private thoughts? How does the character feel about things? Effect on Others: How does the character cause others to react? Actions: What does the character do? How does the character behave? Looks: What does the character look like? How does the character dress?

4 SPEECH THOUGHTS/ EMOTIONS EFFECTS ON OTHERS ACTIONS LOOKS Character: SPEECH THOUGHTS/ EMOTIONS EFFECTS ON OTHERS ACTIONS LOOKS Character:

5 Read Just Once looking for examples of STEAL in the character: Moose Complete the graphic organizer using the parts of the text you identified as STEAL. For the inside wheel, identify quotes/examples that will support that part of STEAL. For the outside wheel, explain how each quote reveals that part of The Moose’s character.

6 On the other sheet, there is another STEAL wheel for your “round” character. Begin creating your own character with character, and write about him/her in each part of the STEAL wheel. Keep in mind this will be the character you use for your Narrative Task! After you have done this, draw your character in the box on the back.
