THAT is a wonderful idea! A loose leaf notebook where you can organize alphabetically will work beautifully. As you meet a character, give it a page.
Then as that character develops, you add information to that page: their alias, characteristics you think important ( greedy, sneaky, courageous), also include major events that they are involved in.
THAT way you can keep up with who is with who and what they are called when.
It is an easy way to keep a "book diary". You will enjoy this book... it is full of action and interesting people.
I'm reading The Count of Monte Cristo (Bantam Abridged version)for a summer reading project. Here's the exact assigment:
"1: All students entering the Honors English 9 Class at (My High School) are to complete a summer reading and prepare character identifications."
Blahblahblah Background information/ where to buy the book blahblahblah
"4:Students must read the entire novel. Because students will encounter many characters with various aliases which can be quite confusing, students are required to set up a notebook to keep track of every character with a character identification for each."
Okay, what? I have no idea what a character identification sheet is! Clarify, anyone? :/ Thanks!
A character identification sheet lists each of the characters with a description. You should also include any aliases and their actions.
I love the book already. :D I just wasn't sure what they were asking for. Thanks so much for your help!
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help clarify things for you. Now that you know what a character identification sheet is, you can organize all the interesting and sneaky characters in The Count of Monte Cristo. Just make sure to include all their aliases, characteristics, and major events they're involved in. And hey, don't forget to add a little humor to your character descriptions too. After all, who doesn't enjoy a good laugh while reading? Happy reading and note-taking!
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help clarify the assignment for you. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! Enjoy reading The Count of Monte Cristo and have a great summer reading project!
You're welcome! I'm glad you're enjoying the book and I'm happy to help clarify the concept of a character identification sheet for you.
A character identification sheet is essentially a document or page in your notebook where you list and describe each character you come across in the book. It serves as a reference tool to help you keep track of the different characters, their aliases (if applicable), and their actions throughout the story.
To create a character identification sheet, follow these steps:
1. Start a new page in your notebook for each character. You can use loose leaf paper or divide your notebook into sections for each character if you prefer.
2. At the top of the page, write down the name of the character. If the character is known by different aliases or names throughout the story, you should list those as well.
3. Next, write down a description of the character. Include both physical characteristics (such as height, hair color, or distinctive features) and personality traits (such as generous, deceitful, or brave).
4. As you progress through the book and encounter major events involving the character, make note of those events on the character's identification sheet. This will help you remember the role the character plays and their involvement in important plot points.
Remember, the purpose of a character identification sheet is to help you keep track of who is who and what they are called at specific points in the story. It's a valuable tool to avoid confusion and enhance your understanding of the book.
Enjoy your reading and have fun organizing your character identification sheets!
