What makes a good character (cont.)

Today we will continue the "Who the Heck Is That?" game, in guessing our classmates' favorite characters, based off of their detailed descriptions.  Afterwards, we will have a class discussion on what really makes a great (not just good, but GREAT) character.

For Monday in-class writing:  One fat paragraph (10 sentences minimum) answering the question "what makes a good character?"  Be sure to include what you learned from today's discussion.  This may be typed or neatly in ink.  Be prepared to share.

Homework:  Study your vocab flashcards (look below for the earlier post).  Post-test is on next Friday.

For the kids who tested out:  Your vocab list of ten words is due (the whole sheet needs to be completed) by Tuesday.
