Content Objective: Students analyze the internal and external development of the main characters in a short story or novel in order to support deeper comprehension of the text.

Review student responses briefly and explain that today students will analyze how the author developed the characters using a range of literary devices. Display PowerPoint: Literary Devices of Fiction and refer to slide 20. Instruct students to revisit their previous rating of their knowledge of literary devices (elements and techniques). Ask students to revise ratings of their current knowledge of literary devices addressed in Daily Lessons 3-5 on a scale from 1- 4: 1 – I’ve seen the term but am unable to define it. 2 – I can define the term. 3 – I can define and give an example of the term. 4 – I can define, give an example, and use the literary term in my writing.
