Notes for Success

Use characters from different books or short stories

Make sure characters have something in common.

For your Infographic, give specific examples of how actions define their traits.

You need to have a copy of the text available to you in order to complete your Infographic completely.  

For example:  Desdemona is loyal -- How do you know? (Act 1, Scene 3, Page 8) She stood up to Brabantio and said that she owes her obedience to Othello now.

Please make sure you are reading the rubric and you understand all the requirements.

Remember to  read the prompt and check your rubric:

Prompt: Create an infographic comparing 2 characters from 2 different texts. Bases of comparison are character traits and how the character drives the story.

Rubric:

Focus: all aspects of prompt (similarities and how character drives the story.)

Controlling idea: general statement of traits/actions/effects that drive the story

Example: Desdemona, from Othello, and Devorah, from Like No Other, have similar characters traits of love and respect for their families and traditions, loyalty to their loved one, and tenacity in achieving their desires. Both of them make significant, life-changing decisions that drive the plot of their stories.

Reading/Research: Accurate representation of what is in the text

Development:  Use of textual references; specific and detailed

Organization: Point by point or subject by subject - Be consistent

Conventions: Of course, spelling, grammar, word choice count!

Content understanding: understanding of character traits, characterization, understanding of actions and how they drive the plot (cause/effect)
