Day 4 - Wonder Reactions Reveal Character Yesterday, we learned that the actions and choices of our characters often reveal something important about them. Now, I am going to teach you that when readers want to think deeply about a character, we can also examine the ways that other people treat the character, looking especially for patterns of behavior. We not only notice how other characters treat and view the main character, but we also notice what others call the character, and the voice and body language people use around that character. 8:40 – 9:00
Reactions Reveal Character When reading, first, pay attention, or notice, how other characters treat the main character. Then push yourself to think what this reveals about the kind of person the main character is. When we think about August and our theory about his character, we noticed that August must be pretty strong on the inside because he finds ways to stick up for himself. Now, let’s focus on how the other characters treat August. This also will reveal something about August and the kind of person he is.
Story Character Analysis I noticed… • That Julian makes fun of August (p44) in a way that is not obvious to everyone. August knows that Julian is being cruel, but he does not stick up for himself. I think… that August is not always strong, and he doesn’t always stick up for himself. He sees the world as it is and seems to accept the way things are for him. Maybe sticking up for himself by finding fault with others, like how he corrected Julian’s pronunciation of the word ‘supposedly,’ is not really going to help him much in school. He will need to find other ways to manage himself in the world.
Add to Anchor Chart: Building Theories about Characters • We step outside of the story to help us build theories about the characters. • We pay attention to characters’ actions to reveal what kind of people they are. • We pay attention to the ways in which other characters treat the main character.
Readers RESPONSE Book • Let’s use characterization clues and write sentences in our Reader’s Response book referring to what we’ve read in Wonder. We will analyze August’s character, using complete sentences and cite our evidence. • Example: August displays inner strength as a character trait when he decides to attend school even though he has had some negative experiences with Julian. For example when Julian belittles August’s education when he says “ “ and when he rudely asks “ “ about his face.
