Setting the Tone:Journal Writing State the classroom rule or procedure practiced yesterday. Explain in detail how to properly complete this rule or procedure. **If time allows draw a picture that shows this rule or procedure.**
Crafting the Lesson Characters • Static • Dynamic • Round • Flat
Static • a character who does not change in personality, nature, or attitude. • he/she is the same sort of person from the beginning of the story until the very end = static • Ex. Father in A Day’s Wait
Dynamic (developing) • a character who undergoes at least one permanent, important change in personality, nature, or attitude. • if a character has become noticeably more mature, wiser, more understanding, or more patient – or has changed in any other significant way = dynamic • Ex. Schatz in A Day’s Wait
Round • a well developed, multi-sided, and complex character. • we feel that we know the character so well that he or she has become a real person = round • Ex. Usually the protagonist/main character
Flat • is not fully developed • we know only one side (one description) of the character = flat • Ex. Character in a story, but he or she does not play a significant role (Mother in A Day’s Wait)
Helpful hints • Here are your character choices: • Round and dynamic • Round and static • Flat and static
