“Come Alive” Box: Describe the Setting and Character
“Come Alive” Box: Anchor Charts
33 ©2011 Nancy Fetzer
Come alive, come alive! Make the setting and the character come alive!
Mood makes the setting!
Mood = 5 Senses + figurative language + the character interacting with the setting.
A.P.E. makes the character!
A = Appearance P = Personality Traits E = Emotions
But actions, actions, actions make them come alive!
The character’s actions should reveal the A.P.E. and the Mood.
Come Alive Box Chant!
