Students learn how to write a good characterisation, why they are useful, and a step-by-step approach to writing one.

Activities include “character suitcase” (packing a suitcase with physical and symbolic items for a character), detailed characterisation prompts with examples that breakdown the characterisation into manageable chunks, collection information for a biography, and finally writing a characterisation for a character from the book “Notes from the Midnight Driver” by Sonnenblick.
