Aim: How does “Sailing from Troy” and “The Lotus Eaters” establish Odysseus’ role as a leader?
Characterization
-method by which an author creates the personality and appearance of their character
Direct characterization: the author makes direct statements about the character (can be revealed through a narrator or through another character in the story). The author tells the reader what they want to know.
Indirect Characterization: indirectly characterization
Steal
Speech: What does the character say?
Thoughts: What is revealed through the character’s private thoughts and feelings?
Effects: What is revealed through the character’s effect on other people? How do the characters feel or behave in reaction to the character?
Actions: What does the character do? How does the character behave?
Looks: What does the character look like? How does the character dress?
Student Reflection: Based on today’s lesson, we learned about what characterization is and the two different types, we learned about an acronym that we should use while reading the Odyssey. I learned about the types of characterization and STEAL and I learned it because when reading the Odyssey, we have to have an analysis of what the characters did that affect the plot of the story. I will then use these skills on making sure I can understand and annotate the story as I read.
