Objective: Standard CC1.3.9-10.E L.F 2.3.1
By the end of class, students will be able to analyze how complex characters develop over the course of text, interact with other characters and advance the plot or develop the theme in order to improve reading comprehensive, Keystone skills.
DO NOW
Complete #1 ONLY on the characterization worksheet provided to you. You only have to do #1 right now.
Direct Instruction
Review how we determine character traits:
STEAL METHOD
Look at the PROMPT for the excerpt from Palace of the Eagles by Gertrude Landa.
Read together - "In the beginning...."
Determine character traits of the King. How do you know?
Begin the graphic organizer together.
Guided
Read "At the end...."
You may work with a partner to determine character traits of the King at this point in the story. Complete the "Character in Conflict" graphic organizer. Ensure that your TEXT EVIDENCE is directly from the story (in quotation marks).
Independent
Explain how the King is a dynamic character. Cite evidence from the passage to support your conclusions. Write your answer in space provided on back of the story.

1. Idle - lazy, avoids work
2. Nuisance - an annoying thing or person
3. Homage - public respect
4. Famine - extreme lack of food
5. Undecipherable - not able to be understood
6. Folly - foolishness
7. Prosperity - to have wealth; live very well; with abundance
