Hi there! I hope you all had a fulfilling, restful Spring Break, and that you are ready to work hard for the remainder of the year. I apologize for falling down on the updating of this blog: I commit to updating every day, for the rest of the school year! I promise!
Today, we each reviewed our Spring Break, sharing some of the highlights with our classmates. Remember that these discussions are a good opportunity for you to try out new vocabulary!
Then, we reviewed our character profiles for Carl, from the movie Up, which we watched before the break. We discussed his background, his positive and negative traits, and his goals and ambitions. Figuring out these aspects of your character BEFORE you write your story will help you have a better sense of what your character should say, think and do.
Finally, we began filling out character profiles for our own characters, for stories we will write next class. If you were away, or if you lost your character chart, you can access one at the side here.
