Characterization
Every day we engage with a whole host of fictional characters. We meet them in books, in films, on TV: in comic strips, on the radio, in advertisements. You probably have a few favourite characters of your own.
After you have discussed the questions, share your findings with the class – were there any
things you all agreed about?
Get into pairs and discuss the following questions:
What makes a good character?
How can you make your characters believable?
What techniques can you use?
