  15. Character Development • Characters are what they do on the page (ACTION). • Justify the behavior of characters (show their fears, hopes, loves, hates, motivations and how these lead to action). • Multidimensionality • What do they hate? • What is their favorite color? • Are they obsessive about something, and if so what? • What are their favorite expressions and exclamations? • What are they afraid of? • Physical descriptions are vital, but there is no need for gushing!

  16. Character Bio Practice • Access your literacy narrative. • Focus on one character: is he/she well-developed? • Does he/she represent a “real” person, someone who could have existed? • Can readers unfamiliar with this person really visualize them? • Can readers identify with him/her?

  17. Character Bio • What can you remember about him/her? • What were his/her most distinct features? • How did he/she make you feel? • What were his/her habits? • How did he/she act?
