Publishing students' work NCCS Anchors addressed SECTION 1: CREATING
CHARACTERS SKILL 1: INTRODUCING A CHARACTER As young authors practice
describing characters to create a specific first impression for the reader,
they will become more observant about the people around them. SKILL 2:
POSITIVE CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS Student authors will learn about and
practice creating an appealing character through the purposeful selection
of descriptive detail. In the process, they will gain a better
understanding of their own reasons for reacting positively to other people.
SKILL 3: NEGATIVE CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS Student authors will learn about
and practice selecting character details that will make an immediate
negative impression on the reader. In the process, they may come to realize
the importance of first impressions in real life. SKILL 4: CREATING GOOD
GUYS AND BAD GUYS Using Personality Traits Student authors practice ways to
make the hero(ine) a more sympathetic (likable) character than the
villain(ess) of a story, in the process gaining a deeper understanding of
human behavior. SKILL 5: WRITING FROM A POINT OF VIEW As students practice
adopting a character's point of view, they will come to understand that
there are different sides to every story, in real life as well as in
fiction. Reproducibles/Media: CCR 1--EVEN MICE HAVE DIFFERENT POINTS OF

practice personifying a variety of inanimate objects and writing from their
point of view. In the process, both students and readers may gain a new
perspective on a part of their life. SECTION 2: DEEPENING CHARACTERIZATION
SKILL 1: CHARACTERS HAVE EMOTIONS As students practice choosing verb
synonyms, letting a character's actions reveal his or her emotional state,
they will gain a deeper appreciation of word connotations and an awareness
of the word choices they make in everyday life. Reproducibles/Media: CCR
3--CHARACTERS HAVE EMOTIONS Chart SKILL 2: AVOIDING STEREOTYPES Student

the reader by describing how the character takes up physical space and has
an impact on his or her surroundings. SKILL 4: SHOWING HOW CHARACTERS ARE
AFFECTED BY THE SETTING Student authors will learn and practice how to
enhance the realism of a story by describing their characters' reactions to
elements of the setting. In the process, students may become more aware of
the reactions of others to real-life settings. Reproducibles/Media: CCR

DIMENSION As they practice showing the reader that a character has human
feelings, students may increase their ability to 'read' the emotions being
expressed by others in real life. Reproducibles/Media: CCR 6--EMOTIONAL

REVEALING A CHARACTER'S PSYCHOLOGICAL DIMENSION Students will practice
writing a character's thought-revealing dialogue and internal monologue in

USING DIALOGUE TO REVEAL CHARACTER INFORMATION As student authors practice
writing revealing dialogue for created characters, they may become more
aware of the ways in which people reveal themselves to others in everyday
life. Reproducibles/Media: CCR 10--WHAT'S MY LINE? SKILL 2: USING DIALOGUE
TO REVEAL A CHARACTER'S REACTION TO A SETTING Students will practice
writing dialogue, in the process becoming aware of its usefulness as a tool
to enhance the realism of a story setting. SKILL 3: USING DIALOGUE TO
