Bowdoin, July 17

Today we worked on characters. We each chose a picture from a magazine and turned the person in the picture into a character. We thought of internal and external things characteristics and then somehow get those things into our story. Yesterday, we did word a minute and watched a few videos where somebody learns a lesson. We wrote what we thought the lesson was on a sticky note. One of the videos we watched was about a girl who went to Africa and learned to never complain about what she didn't have. Another girls learned how to treat a friend.

Today at camp we first did opening circle and then we got into groups. In those groups we were assigned a cartoon character to brainstorm internal and external character traits. Then we got to create our own character based on a magazine picture. After we had snack, we wrote our autobiographies about special stuff that we've had happen to us.
