 Characters experience varying amounts of change over the course of a story. Two types of characters are:  Static characters Dynamic characters

 that do not experience basic character changes during the course of the story.

that experience changes throughout the plot of a story. Although the change may be sudden, it is expected based on the story’s events.

 A story’s characters fall within a range—from very static characters that experience no change to  very dynamic characters that undergo one or more major changes.  Your job is to chart this growth.  Chapter 1-6 then  Chapters 7-12

 1. Focusing on chapters 1-6, choose five defining moments for your character. In other words, choose five moments from the novel that changed your character in a significant way.

 This should have been done in class prior for essay development.   From the book: chapters 1-6 or beyond if you are further  Or  Many internet sources:  Google: e.g.,  “Lord of the Flies” Ralph/Roger/Jack quotes

 2. Find a quote to support each defining moment. Don’t forget to include the page number!

 3. Briefly describe the way in which each moment changed your character.

 4. Note whether your moment was “low,” “medium,” or “high.” Low moments changed your character in a negative way, high moments improved your character, and medium moments were neutral.

 This correlates to the visual character development chart we will be creating.

 5. Remember to keep your moments in chronological order (don’t skip back and forth in time).  Why?

 Go to  English 10  Lord of the Flies  Click on characterization chart

 Enter a title for your map and the name of each member in your group. Click “next.”

 Under “What items are going to list?” choose “Scene.” Then click “next.”

 For “How do you want to rate your items?” choose “High/Medium/Low.” Click “next.”

 Now you will write about your moments! Write “Number 1” in the “Scene” box, since this is your first defining moment.

 Write a short label for your moment in the “Topic” box. For example, “Ralph is elected leader.”

 Write your quote and page number in the Description” box.

 You may choose a picture if one is appropriate for your moment.  Choose “add an entry” to create your “Number 2” moment. Repeat for all five of your moments.

 Once each moment has been entered, click “finished.” (Use the back button if you need to double-check your work.)

 *You may notice that there is no section on the chart for explaining your moments.  You will explain your moments in your reflection essay, so keep your Charting Evolution Organizer!
