This is a 15 slide power point that discusses the author's methods to create a character--both direct and indirect. It teaches the indirect characterization acronym, STEAL, teaches flat, static, round, etc. character types, protagonist and antagonist, point of view, etc. **Note: I also have listed a handout that I pass out to the kids to fill in as we view the power point in class. It helps keep them focused and decreases note taking time. Check it out if you're interested. :)
