Transcription de la présentation

  1. Character Analysis Your first 5 paragraph essay. Woot.

  2. Characteristics -- defining feature • Attributes -- assign qualities to somebody or something • Traits – individual or inherited characteristic What parts of the character should we analyze?

  3. Intellectual • Emotional • Physical • Spiritual What do these words mean?

  4. Adjectives What words describe the character using the 4 different characteristics?

  5. Intellectual: • Intelligent • Stupid • Book smart • Street smart • What else…? • Emotional: • Sensitive • Stoic • Paranoid • Depressed • What else…? Adjectives

  6. Physical: • Weak • Strong • Fat • Thin • What else…? • Spiritual: • A believer • A fanatic • Atheist • What else…? Adjectives

  7. Once these are listed, create a sub-list of the characters STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES (according to you) How would you characterize the characteristics?

  8. Character web

  9. How does the character APPEAR& ACT? • What does the character SAY & FEEL? • WHY? • What QUOTESshow this? • (the DETAILS are the character attributes) Character web

  10. Follow these step by step instructions to create the PERFECT 5 paragraph CHARACTER ANALYSIS! (seriously, it is that easy) The outline

  11. The name of the character, the title of the book, the author’s name • Brief description of the character (strengths and weaknesses) • Why you chose this particular character • Thesis statement (what is important about this character and their “journey” during the story?) • Explanation of thesis statement THE INTRODUCTION

  12. DEFINITION: a short statement, usually one sentence, that summarizes the main point or claim of an essay, research paper, etc., and is developed, supported, and explained in the text by means of examples and evidence. THE DREADED THESIS STATEMENT. YIKES.

  13. What is the main point of your essay? • What do you want to say in your essay? • An analytical paper breaks down an issue or an idea into its component parts, evaluates the issue or idea, and presents this breakdown and evaluation to the audience. Huh?

  14. To help you come up with a thesis: Imagine a reporter on TV is going to do a report on your paper. She wants to sum up your paper in a single sentence. That is your thesis. Try this

  15. Gabby Douglas is an excellent gymnast who overcame hardship to win a gold medal in the 2012 Olympics. Percy Jackson was thrown into a world he knew nothing about but excelled because of his inherent and godly powers. For example

  16. Thesis of the paragraph (what you are going to explain in THIS SPECIFIC PARAGRAPH) • Strength/weakness #1 of the character • Quotation that supports #1 • Explanation of the quote • One more sentence of explanation of the quote • Concluding sentence for THIS PARAGRAPH ONLY Body paragraphs 1,2,3

  17. Each body paragraph should start with a thesis sentencein which you state the point you will be developing within each paragraph. These should not be simply self-evident statements. There must be a point to them. Body paragraphs

  18. If you say “‘Cinderella’ is about a girl becoming a princess” you are correct, but your paper will not be particularly interesting. • Instead you might say “’Cinderella’ shows how good triumphs over evil; though Cinderella was given all the chores, which could have made her ugly, she was the most beautiful.” This makes your main point be about good triumphing over evil, specifically through her physical beauty. Main point of the body paragraphs

  19. Each body paragraph should talk about either a STRENGTH or WEAKNESS of the character. That should be part of your thesis statement for that paragraph. Characteristics

  20. Don’t forget to conclude each paragraph!! And then create the conclusion for the entire paper.

  21. Restate thesis • Restate explanation of thesis • Final thoughts (but no new ideas!!) • Concluding sentence for the paper • Explanation of the concluding sentence • Button Conclusion

  22. Restate! Restate! Restate! Re-word and re-explain the introduction

  23. The “button” was an old commercial term for “closing an ad” • Something that wraps it all up • A catch phrase, a saying, a great way to end What is a BUTTON?

  24. Now go and write it.
