Thursday 10/19 Writing - Create Supporting Characters

Purpose: I can create a supporting character to help my main character on their adventure.

1. Connection: Think about one of your good friends.  Answer the following questions about them in your Writing Notebook, be sure to use as many details as possible:
• How did you first meet your friend?
• What does he or she look like?
• What do you two do together for fun?
• Where do they live and what is it like there?
2. Teaching/Engagement: Just like you and I, main characters have friends.  The supporting character is kind of like a sidekick or a best friend for the main character.  The supporting character's job is to help the main character during their adventure.
3. Application: Supporting Character Worksheet (pages 22 - 31) in your NaNoWriMo Packet.
4. Share:  Discuss your supporting character with Partner #6, be ready to give and receive suggestions/ideas.
