Direct and Indirect Characterization

Today's Goal: Distinguish between a narrator providing us with direct characterization, and the actions of characters that provide indirect characterization.

The Plan: 

1. Book Love
2. To Kill a Mockingbird discussion and P4R (Google Classroom)
3. Book Love Assignment
4. Direct and Indirect Characterization

Direct/Indirect Characterization

Direct Characterization - When you TELL the reader about a character (looks, attitude, personality, likes, dislikes, hobbies). It is not enough to say one thing about looks. You need to include lots of information!

Indirect Characterization - when you learn about a character (looks, attitude, personality, likes, dislikes, hobbies, etc.) through their actions. Don’t tell me that the character is energetic. Have the character do something energetic.
