=Welcome to Room 11 and our understanding of characters in literature. =


 * WE UNDERSTAND A CHARACTER BY:**
 * Speech
 * Actions
 * Appearance
 * Others Comments

1. What motivates your character? 2. Is your character DYNAMIC or STATIC? 3. How does understanding the character help us arrive at the theme of the story?
 * QUESTIONS WE NEED TO CONSIDER WHEN WE THINK ABOUT CHARACTER:**
 * Is it internal? (honesty, loyalty, work ethic)
 * Is it external? (money, another person)
 * Did the character change in the story? How?
 * Who changes in the story, the main character, or the other characters around him/her?
 * What events influenced that change?

__**Objective**__ The purpose of this project is to examine character and how the character influences the theme of the story. Students are using wikispaces to record their thinking around character. They are analyzing the character so that they can record their thinking and build ideas among each other to develop a deeper understanding of literature.

The following pages are comprised of a mix of pages co-created during modeled instruction and those created by student partnerships. A wiki was used to teach the technology and build collaborative skills. This experience was a launching point for the use of a wiki as a social medium for collaboration with our sister school in China.
