Think: Consider a character in the novel who is facing a significant challenge or dilemma. Reflect on the following questions silently for a few minutes:

• What is the challenge or dilemma the character is facing?

• What factors are influencing the character's decision-making process?

• How do you think the character will respond to this challenge?

Pair: Turn to a partner and share your thoughts about the character and their situation. Discuss the following:

• What insights do you have about the character's motivations and feelings?

• Do you think the character's decision will have consequences for themselves or others?

• How would you handle the same situation if you were in the character's shoes?

Share: After discussing with your partner, share some of your insights and conclusions with the class. Consider the following:

• What are some common themes or patterns in the characters' decisions and actions?

• How do the characters' choices contribute to the development of the plot?

• Are there any lessons or messages that you think the author is conveying through the characters' experiences?

Encourage students to listen actively to their classmates' contributions and to build on each other's ideas during the sharing phase. This activity promotes critical thinking, empathy, and deeper engagement with the characters and themes of the novel
