Today, I provided you with additional information about how to write an attention-getter. It was in booklet form. I expect you to have it read for Monday. I also reminded you that I am inviting any and all of you to meet with me individually to go over your essays. One on one instruction does help with comprehension and will help you achieve a higher mark on the next essay.
I then gave you a sheet explaining how to determine characterization (direct and indirect)m by using STEAL. It also contained a lengthy list of personality traits to help you do the following group activity:
Get into groups of three.
As a group, you were assigned to evaluate one of the following characters from the readings earlier this week: Dorothy, Isa, and Pat.
Read the play through in its entirety (and out loud). While reading, highlight any direct and indirect (STEAL) information you come accross.
When finished, get a sheet of paper and, as a group, examine the evidence you have found. From this, create a list of three personality traits for your characters and state at least three pieces of evidence (from STEAL) that support your assertions.
When finished, write down the direct characterization traits that the writer has provided you with.
This is due at the end of class.
If you were not here, see me and I will assign you a character to analyze on your own.
