Presentation Transcript

  1. In His/Her Shoes Taking on someone else’s perspective…

  2. Quick Write(In your writer’s notebook) • “Have you ever judged someone without knowing what his/her life was really like? If people needed to know one thing about you before they judged you, what would it be?”

  3. Atticus says… “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” (39).

  4. In His/Her Shoes Continue to use your Writer’s Notebook to jot down brainstorming/prewriting ideas • You will be paired with your desk partner and assigned a shoe picture. • Spend two minutes with your partner discussing to whom the shoes belong. You may choose from: Scout, Jem, Atticus, Calpurnia, Lula, Zeebo, Tom Robinson, Miss Maudie, Miss Caroline, Mrs. Dubose, Walter Cunningham, Mr. Cunningham, Bob Ewell, Burris Ewell, Dill, Miss Stephanie, or Boo Radley.

  5. Start by examining the picture of the shoes. • What qualities does the shoe have? (Think outside the box.) • When you write down those qualities, what character comes to mind?

  6. You will write a descriptive paragraph about the character, explaining why those shoes fit the character and giving more information about him or her. • Consider: What does the character look like? How does he or she act? How is he or she perceived? What is his or her character like? What does the character do? What do we need to know to understand the character better? • Spend two minutes quietly brainstorming and browsing the book for ideas and details about your character.

  7. You may collaborate with your neighbor on the details of the paragraph, however, each individual will write a paragraph when the time comes. • Do all prewriting in your Writer’s Notebook

  8. Final outcome-- • A written paragraph on notebook paper or typed that tells us about the person, using evidence from the book. You must have at least one quotation and internal citation! • After you write your paragraph, you will draw a picture (or a stick figure) of what your character looks like. Draw it underneath your paragraph. REMEMBER: Use your civilized voices during collaboration!
