S.T.E.A.L: Summer Reading Application

Today, armed with notes about the STEAL Character Analysis Framework, students got into groups and chose a character to STEAL from the summer reading books. Students chose blindly the names from 3x5 cards.

Each group had the following:

• 2-3 Freshmen
• Access to the Summer Reading books
• An assigned character

All they needed was a place to start collecting character information. So at this point, each Freshman got a copy of the STEAL Character Chart.

The first task was for students to work with their group to complete the chart. Completing the chart means we can move on to the next step of the project: creating a poster of the information and presenting it.

HW:

• Finish any parts of the Character Chart that your group didn't finish in class.
• Groups will receive poster-paper from me when they show me a completed Character Chart, for tomorrow's Poster work day.
