This year on Oct. 29 we will be having the annual Character Parade!! This will be a time for you use your imagination to create a great character costume. At the bottom of the page is a rubric on how this will be assessed. The main part is to have fun and be creative.
A rubric went home today.
If you choose not to participate in the Character Parade you will compose a character sketch for one of the characters in the book you are reading. A character sketch highlights several important characteristics or personality traits of a person. A good character sketch provides support detail for each identified trait. Directions: Use the graphic organizer on the sheet to organize your ideas about the personality traits of a fictional or real person. Then, write a character sketch of that person. You may use the character sketch format on that page, but are not required to do so. Through your word choice and sentence structure, you will also create a tone that fits your character’s personality. Use the check list on that page as well as the scoring rubric to guide your writing.
Your final copy is due October 29, 2010. (Only if you choose not to participate in the Character Parade.)
