Literary Analysis

A character is a person, an animal, or even an object that participates in the action and experiences the events of a literary work. Writers communicate what characters are like through characterization:

• Direct characterization: The writer explains a character.
• Indirect characterization: The writer gives clues to a character by describing the character’s behavior, words and thoughts, physical appearance, or how others react to the character.

Use a chart like this one to track characterization as you read.

Reading Skill

An inference is an insight you reach based on stated details about information that is not stated. To make inferences, relate characters and events to your own experience.

For instance, when reading the story of a space captain on her first voyage, you might compare the captain to leaders whom you have known. Use a chart like the one shown to relate your reading to your experiences.

A. Students will review strategies for constructing meaning 
B. Students will discuss inferences, conclusions, comprehension/ text relationships, comparing and contrasting ideas and recognizing the writer's purpose.\
