Character Sketcher

    Your job is to find an interesting character from the chapters you read today. You will then find three words that describe the character. For each word, or character trait, you will give proof, or example. For example, if you read The Three Little Pigs, you might tell that the wolf was "determined." Your proof would be he was determined when he kept trying to get the pigs by blowing down their houses.
    The next thing you will do is to tell one of your character's goals, or what the character wants to do in that chapter(s). For example, the wolf's goal is to catch the pigs by blowing down their houses.
    Then you will find one of the character's problems in that chapter(s) and the solution of possible solution to the problem. For example, a problem the wolf faced was that he was not able to blow down the third little pig's house. A possible solution may have been to go and get some help.
    Finally, you get to have fun and illustrate your character!

Illustrator

Your job is to draw some kind of picture related to the reading. It can be a sketch, cartoon, diagram, flow chart, or stick figure scene. You can draw a picture of something that's discussed specifically in your book, something that the reading reminded you of, or a picture that shows any idea or feeling you got from the reading. Use a separate sheet of paper that is provided by your teacher. After finishing your picture, write a descriptive paragraph about your drawing. Your paragraph should include:

*who or what my picture is about
*where my picture takes place
*when it is happening
*why I drew this picture

Please try to use good describing words when writing your paragraph!

Plan for sharing: Don't tell your group what your drawing is. Let them guess and talk about it first. Then you talk about it, or read aloud your paragraph.
