Read passage from Finn

1. Select one character from the novel- other than Huck - you find interesting. Some choices:
Pap, Tom, Miss Watson, Widow Douglas, Jake Packard, Buck, Emmeline, Col. Grangerford, Miss Charlotte, Jim, Miss Sophia, Judith Loftness, or any other one.
2. Brainstorm. Illustrate a picture of this character. Include at least 10 symbolic things on your illustration. These can include physical scars, objects he may carry, a unique item of clothing or a hat, for example.
3. Label each item.
4. Select an event from the novel in which this character was involved OR determine another event you create yourself involving this character (Pap's wedding, Miss Watson's date with a former love interest, Jake Packard's first robbery OR what happens after Huck escapes from the wreck and they sink, for example).
5. Write a chapter (short chapter) telling this story from the perspective of this character.
6. Take on the voice of the character. Imagine the choice of words he or she would use, and think about how this figure would describe the event.
7. Include at least one aspect of dialogue. Make it important- it should reveal something unique about the character that is better said aloud than described.
8. Include paragraphs.
