- Students will identify examples of indirect characterization and use them as evidence in an original argument about characters in their reading.
- Students will evaluate characterization in their own writing and revise their writing.
- Read what has already been written in the discussion. If someone’s comment is related to what you think or have observed, then “reply” directly to what they have written. Do not simply agree with what someone has said, build on it to make the ideas more clear or complex.
- Always include character names, author names, and book titles in your posts, so that the discussion can continue.
- Develop a complete comment in paragraph form. Use specific details and examples from your reading to support your opinion on the topic.
- Keep the tone of your posts generally positive. (Remember that this is your online identity that you are creating.)
- What does the character look like?
- How does the character behave towards others? How do others behave toward the character?
- What does the character seem to care about?
- What adjectives does the author use to describe the character’s personality?
- What does the character think or say?
