}A Good Way To Start:
}Write a story about an encounter you had with someone, focusing on things in the scene, how the person dresses, facial expressions and gestures. Use person’s words in some direct quotations, describing voice tone or any other distinguishing features.
}When you write a character sketch you are trying to introduce the reader to someone by creating a strong mental image in carefully chosen words:
}Show their way of doing things
}Discuss what they like and dislike
}Create a snapshot of your person (Using imagery)
}Be aware of details and include them in your descriptions
}Length of essay: One full page in your notebook
}Do a self edit of your work (check for spelling and content)
Homework: Copy final draft of essay on loose leaf paper to be handed in on Friday, Oct 16, 2009.
Journal Work: Upon completion of your final draft of your “Character Sketch”, you will create a two page collage in your journal notebook. Do a collage background. Then on this collage background place 10 words or phrases and ten pictures that relate to your character. Somewhere on the collage you must have a title in large print. Make it noticeable !
