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!

Connector

Your job is to connect the book your group is reading to the outside world. This means asking yourself these questions and writing a paragraph about one or more of them:

        * Does this part of the story remind you of any other story or book you
        have read or heard? Explain.
        * Does this part of the story remind you of anything that has happened to
        you, a friend, or a family member? Explain.
        * Does this part of the story remind you of a movie or television show you
        have seen? Explain.

In your paragraph, be sure to include who or what your connection is about, where and when it happened, what happened, and how it connects or deals with the part of the story you were reading.

Respond to the following quote from the book. Is there anything that you have experienced that relates to this?

"Bright thought about his words. Yes, she thought, even the smallest tasks play an important part in helping others to be free. And that makes me feel ever so good about my part in it."
