Character Sketcher
Cody
Your job as Character Sketcher is to identify the traits of the above character along with explaining or providing evidence to support your traits. Also you must identify the character goal, which is what the character hopes to accomplish, the problem, and the solution in the reading of this section. Complete a sketch or some type of illustration of the above character.
These character traits should be implied, which means they are not clearly stated in the text. You want to use descriptive words for your traits but not words such as good, bad, mean, nice.
If the solution to your character’s problem is not in the reading don’t worry. You can just come up with a possible solution to that problem. When beginning your character sketch you can use the physical descriptions to help you.
