Creating & Describing a Character
(Protagonist/Hero – Antagonist/Villain)
At the heart of any story is a character that engages your interest, your love or your total dislike. Your job is to describe a tv, movie or book character of your choice.
Prewriting (generating ideas)
• Name of Character
• Describe the character’s physical appearance.
(hair, eyes, skin, clothes, unusual features,
and anything else that makes the character unique)
• Describe the character’s personality.
(Does he/she have a sense of humor? Is he/she serious?
Is he/she kind? Does he/she have strong feelings about anything?)
• Describe the way the character speaks.
(Does he/she speak in an unusual way? Does he/she speak
at a fast or slow pace? Does he/she listen to others?)
• Describe how the character thinks.
(Is there any change in the way the character thinks?
Does he/she analyze events or think about them as little as possible?)
- Does the character change? (have any situations or challenges faced by the character changed their personality?)
• List the different roles the character plays in the
lives of the people around him.
(Is the character a son, daughter, husband, wife, best
friend, policeman, teacher, etc.?)
Draft (ideas to sentences/paragraphs) written in 1st person point of view:
Do you
know who I am? I am the Victor Newman, the self-made billionaire and business tycoon. Not many know that I was born Christian Miller. After my father walked out on the family and my mother abandoned me at an orphanage where I
had to fend for myself, I renamed myself with the intention of starting a new
life and being victorious in all my endeavors. From then on, I vowed to myself that no one would ever defeat me and bring me down again.
Eventually I got myself
a solid education and started working in the corporate world of high finance where I established a name and reputation for myself.
Some say I’m ruthless or call me the black knight - they just have no idea what it takes to build a company from the ground up with your own sweat.
No
problem, whether big or small, can faze me – I control everything and everyone
around me. My word is the law. No one dares to challenge me or they will
face my wrath. I am to be respected and feared. Join me in the boxing ring at the Genoa City
Athletic Club and you’ll soon understand.
I will
do as I please; I always have and I always will. I will not conform or give into what you want
of me. No one takes me on. I will crush them and leave them penniless.
The great Victor Newman has spoken, you got that Billy boy?

Science
Separating Solutions by Evaporation
Purpose: to remove salt from a salt-water solution by
evaporation (liquid to gas); the experiment will simulate cave stalactites, in which dripping water evaporates leaving behind mineral solutes.
Hypothesis: if I hang a string that has been soaked in
a saturated salt-water solution between two cups 1/2 full of epsom salts solution, then
I think after a week….
