Interpret the following piece of flash fiction. When you read the story, what comes to mind? What do you think is going on? Where is the child? The wife only has two lines: "yesterday...why not yesterday?" Why does she say this? What's up with the room? What is your conclusion about the piece, and what specific examples from the text lead you to that conclusion?

Wednesday 9/21/16 - Cat in the Hat Characters
Watch the animated film, "The Cat in the Hat" (see link below). Take Cornell notes by analyzing indirect characterization for the Cat, the Fish, the Boy, and the Girl. The characters should be on the left side of your notes, and their characterization should be on the right.

Thursday 9/22/16 - Picture day...NO BELLWORK :)
First, I want you pretend that you are a character in a novel, and that the narrator is describing you using direct characterization.
Next, I want you to use indirect characterization, by describing yourself from another’s point of view (ie. your mom, dad, sibling, friend, or teacher).
In both cases, I want you to address speech, behavior, physical characteristics, and appearance.
Monday 9/19 STEAL - Methods of Characterization
Copy down the following into your composition books:
Speech: What does the character say? How does the character speak?
Thoughts: What is revealed through the character’s private thoughts and feelings?
Effect on others toward the character: What is revealed through the character’s effect on other people? How do other characters feel or behave in reaction to the character?
Actions: What does the character do? How does the character behave?
Looks: What does the character look like? How does the character dress?
