DIRECT CHARACTERIZATION:  When the narrator or author directly informs the reader about a character’s physical or personality traits.

INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION:  When the trait is implied and the reader must infer the information about a character.

3.  Choose any character from your book to write a descriptive paragraph about.  Be sure to include CITED TEXT to support your characterization AND explain if it is DIRECT or INDIRECT.

4.  READ YOU PEER’S posts!!!  You must make a meaningful comment on a post to receive full credit.
