2. Read the book for homework in December.

3. Complete the graphic aid--character web.
           a) Write the main character's name in the center circle.
           b) Write three character traits in the rectangles.
           c) Give examples from the book that tell why you picked 
               the traits to describe your main character.  Write in the
               circles.

4. Write a character sketch of the main character.  Use the graphic aid (notes) to write a paragraph for each character trait. Use lined paper and print neatly.  Be sure to title your writing.  Do not use a heading.

5. Draw a colorful picture of your character on unlined paper. See the teacher if you need a piece of plain white paper. You may use any  medium--colored pencils, crayons, markers, paint, etc.  Be creative!
