We started the class out by working on some Daily Grammar. In this activity, students are given a sentence, such as "their team will practice after school". They then must demonstrate their ability in a series of ways, such as identifying sentence parts, identifying clauses and sentence type, and diagramming the sentence.
Following this, I discussed character with the students. We defined many literary words related to character (such as static, dynamic, protagonist, antagonist, etc). We watched several film clips and read some story excerpts and talked about the characters in them, using the vocabulary we learned today.
Finally, students wrote thesis statements about the characters in the clips and wrote a paragraph about them.
