Now it is time for you to make a caricature!!!

Because we can’t see the characters in To Kill a Mockingbird, pick a character and think of their most prominent personality traits. Then, make a caricature of how you picture that character by exaggerating their most prominent personality traits (example: Miss Stephanie is the town gossip, so her caricature could have a big mouth).

Please label the parts of your character that you choose to emphasize and say why you picked those parts of them. The direct and indirect characterization portion of your graphic organizer can help you with this.
