Writing Paragraphs

Writing a paragraph about a character

You should feel like you know some of the characters quite well now. You've reflected on their strengths and weaknesses and what they value or believe to be important. The next skill to develop is writing a paragraph about a character to explain to someone else what you know and understand about that character. To start us off, choose one character to focus on.

Find quotations that you feel capture the heart of the character. Try and find quotations that are at the beginning, middle and end of the novel because you want to show that they have grown or changed.
