Curtain Character Analysis: You have been assigned a character from Curtain by Agatha Christie. First, I would like you to find when this character was introduced to us in the book. You will then re-read this part and brainstorm by listing all of the characteristics and traits that were revealed about your character. Next, you will pick the five traits that you feel best describe your character. You will then write a descriptive paragraph about these five traits describing your character. Your writing will be graded on the description of the physical and personality traits of the character, grammar, mechanics, and adjective usage. Make sure you highlight or change the font color of the five adjectives.Finally, you will draw a picture of your character in Paint and combine the paragraph and the picture onto the same page. You will also print a big picture to hang up in the classroom on another piece of paper. When you are done with both assignments, you will print your assignments. You will be sharing these summaries and pictures with your classmates. ***One page will have the paragraph at the top and the picture below. The other page will be just the big picture!***
