Title Talks are monthly projects that students complete based on a book they read that month.
WINTER Title Talk - DUE Friday, March 15
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Character Cutout is a project that will introduce others to an important character in your book in a larger than life way!
DIRECTIONS
• Have a friend/family member help you trace the outline of your body onto a large piece of paper. Then, cut it out.
• Search through your book to find examples of how the author depicts a character’s physical traits - how the character is described on the outside or what they look like: eye color, hair color, facial features, age, clothes, etc.
Then, visually represent these traits on your paper doll using any available materials you have (ex: crayons, paint).
• Attach at least 3 notecards that describe your character's personality traits - how the character is described on the inside or what they are like: caring, smart, kind, annoying, ambitious, etc. On each notecard, include a title for the personality trait and a paragraph (at least 5 sentences) explaining why you would describe them in this way. Also include a quote from your book to help support your idea with evidence. Include the page number for each quote.
• On your Character Cutout include your character's name, the title of your book, the author, and your name.
TIPS AND IDEAS
• Think about other materials you can use to dress your character - old t-shirts, fabric scraps, recycled materials, etc.
