Retelling
I can... describe the beginning, middle, and end of a story.

//Beginning --- Who are the characters? What is the setting? // //Middle What happens to the characters? // //End --- How are the characters different than they were at the beginning of the story because of what took place during the story? //

//* Good readers pay attention to different parts of the story to better their comprehension. //

//**Empathizing** // We not only envision what’s happening but we also empathize with the characters.

= Strategies Readers Use to Grow Ideas About Characters =


 * 1) We make a movie in our mind, drawing on the text to envision or become the character.
 * 2) We use our own experiences to help us walk in the character’s shoes, inferring what the character is thinking, feeling, experiencing.
 * 3) We revise our mental movie as we read on, getting new details from the text.
 * 4) We revise our initial mental movie as we take in new information.



= = =// Predicting //= = Predicting theories about characters = 1. Imagine what the character will do next and **HOW** will the character do this 2. Draw upon what already happened and important details from earlier in the story 3. Bring in personal knowledge

=Developing Theories About Characters =

====**Sometimes the book comes right and tells the reader about the character's personality/feelings. For example, it say ___. The there are places in the story where it doesn't say this, but it shows this. **====

 * ====<span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype,Book Antiqua,Palatino,serif;">**Notice the actions a person has made, seeing these as windows into that person.** ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype,Book Antiqua,Palatino,serif;">**Notice actions that don't move the plot - they're often there to reveal the character.** ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype,Book Antiqua,Palatino,serif;">**Realize actions are choices a character makes and examine what those choices are.** ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype,Book Antiqua,Palatino,serif;">**Notice patterns of actions especially and think "Why did the author have this character continually doing this?" What does this mean?** ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype,Book Antiqua,Palatino,serif;">**If the actions don't seem to reveal anything, push harder to find something that could be significant. Try saying ... "Maybe this suggests... Or perhaps it could be..."** ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype,Book Antiqua,Palatino,serif;">**Come up with an idea and then try to think more about the idea. Say, "This could be important because..."** ====
