Character Creation

These lessons will give students the opportunity to express themselves through creative writing. It will begin by exploring the concepts of stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination. The lesson will then focus on building characterization for an assigned ‘character card’ through brainstorming and note making. Students will examine exemplars of other creative writing and will then draft their own content. They will work through an editing and revision process and then will submit. The final stage of this unit is to practice presentation skills and then present their content to the class.
