CLOSING
Exit Slip:On your post-it write the two types of characterization.
If we finish before time is called, we can practice the characterization chant!
CHARACTERIZATION CHANT
TEACHER:
What is indirect characterization?
All:
What the character says,
What the character does,
What the character thinks,
What the character feels,
What other people say about the character,
And appearance.
