Writing Fix: Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Curated by ACT

After hearing and discussing an excerpt from Sharon Creech's Walk Two Moons, students will plan to create a unique description of a character that uses memorable actions that "show" a person's character. They will brainstorm verbs that might prove or "show" two personality traits. Students will then turn their brainstorm into an original character sketch that shows the reader both personality traits, borrowing techniques from Creech's novel. RL.11-12.3 Auth choice story elem
