Characterization
Round vs. Dynamic
Dynamic characters:
o Both dynamic and round characters
undergo character development, but a
dynamic character only refers to those
traits that change over the time.
o A round character, on the contrary,
defines the complex traits of the character.
o Characters can be both round and
dynamic
Round Characters
Your characterization chart contains the

September 1, 2016
Do Now:
Fold your gold papers in half and
cut on the lines to make flaps
(don’t cut all the way through).
Have you used the RACE strategy
before? How? When? Did it help?
RACE Pointers
R
Restate the question as a sentence. You are
giving a mini answer at this point.
Don’t rewrite the question as a question!
Include the author name and the title of
the work when restating the question.
RACE POINTERS
A
Answer the question more fully. Explain
your thinking or provide
context/background.
Restating the question and answering the
question can be eliminated for questions
that only have 2 or 3 lines to write. The
textual evidence and explanation are the
priorities.
Always use complete sentences!
C&E
RACE Pointers
When citing evidence, introduce the quote.
Use phrases like, “The author states,” or
“According to the text…”
You can lead into the quote by providing
context. For example: After Piggy takes the
conch he says, “quote.”
When explaining how the quote supports
your answer, use phrases like, “This
demonstrates…” or “Clearly the text shows…”
The explanation is the most important part.
RACE Practice
Question: Is Jack the bravest boy on
the island? Explain.
Cite your textual evidence. For
example, “Quote” (Golding 82).

corrections.


Welcome to class!
Thursday, September 8, 2016
Do Now:
Place your “Exercise 3: Proofreading”
handout in the tray.
Take out your notebook. Make three
sections. Label the sections as follows:
Simple Sentences
Compound Sentences
Complex Sentences
Simple Sentences
A simple sentence contains a subject
and a verb
It expresses a complete thought.
Simple Sentences
Examples:
The baby cried for food.
^There is a subject and a verb that expresses a complete thought.
Professor Maple’s intelligent students
completed and turned in their homework.
^ A simple sentence does not necessarily have to be short. It can have adjectives.
In this case, there are two verbs “completed” and “turned in.” However, the
sentence expresses one complete thought and therefore is a simple sentence.
Megan and Max ate too much and felt sick.
^Although there are two subjects and two verbs, it is still a simple sentence
because both verbs share the same subjects and express one complete thought.
Compound Sentences
A compound sentence has two independent
clauses.
An independent clause is a part of a
sentence that can stand alone because it
contains a subject and a verb and expresses a
complete thought.
Basically, a compound sentence contains two
simple sentences.
These independent clauses are joined by a
conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) and a
comma.
Compound Sentences
Examples:
The shoplifter had stolen clothes, so
he ran once he saw the police.
^Both sides of the conjunction “so” are complete sentences.
“The shoplifter had stolen clothes” can stand alone and so can
“he ran once he saw the police.” Therefore, this is a compound
sentence.
They spoke to him in English, but he
responded in German.
^This is also a compound sentence that uses a conjunction to
separate two individual clauses.
Complex Sentences
A complex sentence is an independent clause
joined by one or more dependent clauses.
A dependent clause either lacks a subject
or a verb or has both a subject and a verb
that does not express a complete thought.
A complex sentence always has a subordinator
(as, because, since, after, although, when) or
relative pronouns (who, that, which).
Complex Sentences
Examples:
After eating lunch at The Cheesecake Factory,
Tim went to the gym to exercise.
^ The independent clause is ‘Tim went to the gym to exercise.” The
subordinating clause before it is dependent on the main, independent
clause. If one were to say “after eating lunch at The Cheesecake Factory,” it
would be an incomplete thought.
Opinionated women are given disadvantages in
societies that privilege male accomplishments.
^ The subject is “opinionated women” and the verb is “are given.”
The first part of the sentence “opinionated women are given
disadvantages in societies” is an independent clause that expresses a
complete thought. The following “that privilege male
accomplishments” is a relative clause that describes which types of
societies.
