Why this resource is included
Draw an outline of the character on a large sheet. Outside the outline: what others see (actions, speech, appearance). Inside: what the character feels, thinks, fears, wants. For Roger: outside shows the attempted theft, the blue jeans, the dirty face; inside shows the absent parents, the desire for blue suede shoes, the shame. Supports hot seating by providing pre-work and captures learning for subsequent writing in role (e.g., the apology letter). Ontario OSSD: Reading C1 Knowledge about Texts.
