Novel Study - Final Assignment

Last class, we spent time reading our novels and completing character webs.  We talked about how to make an inference about character: by paying close attention to what characters say, think and do, and noting how these things are similar to what we observe in "real" people.  When a character has a red face, and averts his/her eyes, says things, like "OMG... I can't believe I just did that..." we might make the inference that he/she is embarrassed.  The evidence is there... we just need to do the work to draw the conclusion.  A completed character web is due on or before Monday June 10th.

Also, I distributed the final assignment for the novel study.  You are to choose one of the options to complete, or see me if you have an idea not listed.  A copy of this assignment is available to you at the side, here.  This final assignment is also due on or before Monday June 10th.
