Next Scene Begins in the cafeteria with students everywhere.
Rago and Night sit alone at their table.
In Literacy we have been looking at how authors and directors explain to the viewer/reader about the character. They do this through speech, costume, environment and general appearance.
We have looked at scenes from The first harry potter movie and read the same things from the book. We looked at how the characters were introduced and what was different in the movie and book. We looked at what choices the author/directors made to help us get to know the character.
Shafrin and I created the scene above working on these aspects of the character. I had a friend give me feedback by highlighting some things in this story.
Actions=red, Appearance=yellow, Environment=green and speech=blue.
I think that we have done a good job of creating our own character, and describing what he is like and his personality.
I need to work on explaining the environment.
