Character Description

WALT: Describe a character

We Need To:

• Describe their appearance
• Describe their personality
• Include their hobbies and interests
• Include anything else to help your audience get to know your character
• Include your personal voice... How do you feel about them? What do you think about them?

Remember to be selective with the similes that you use- don't use too many.

Try hard to use a range of sentence starters.
