Directions: While reading your novel, take “Sticky Notes”
on the following topics. You can use
your sticky notes to complete this graphic organizer and the final written
character sketch. Final typed character
sketch is due 4/26.
A CHARACTER SKETCH describes the
personality and the physical appearance of a person/character in a novel. It is a portrait of a person drawn in
words. It describes what he or she is
like inside and out.
A successful CHARACTER SKETCH should:
- Present a vivid picture of
the personality and physical appearance of the person
- Give main impressions of
the person
- Include dialogue,
mannerisms, descriptions that show, rather than tell, what the person is
like
- Reveal the writer’s
response to the person
- Place the person in
surroundings that help the readers understand him or her
- Have a clear structure, a
strong beginning and a strong conclusion
